The State Statistics Service estimates Ukraine’s current population is 42.2 million people

The State Statistics Service estimates Ukraine’s current population is 42.2 million people, excluding the Russia-controlled areas. It is unclear if the estimate includes the 4 million Ukrainians working outside the country. Since the start of this year, deaths exceeded births in Ukraine by 100 deaths for 58 births. This contributed to a net loss of 152,400 people. At the last census, in 2001, Ukraine had 48.5 million people. The next census is scheduled for 2020.
