πΊπ¦πΆ Ella Libanova, Director of the Institute for Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has a piece on the demographic situation there.
βͺοΈ Ms. Libanova predicts Ukrainian TFR was only 0.90 in 2022 & may be as low as 0.70 in 2023.She also predicts that TFR will return to the level of 1.3β1.4 only in the 2030s. However, she states TFR was 1.2 in 2021 when it was possibly higher as the population may have been inflated.
βͺοΈ She also predicts that Ukraines population (within 1991 borders) will only be just north of 30M by 2035. That is down from ~52M in 1989. So Ukraine will have lost more than 20M people in under five decades (larger than the current population of Romania!).
βͺοΈ If the postwar TFR recovery is as modest as Ms. Libanova fears+TFR stays stuck ~1.4 instead of more healthy territory like 1.6-1.7 then Ukraineβs catastrophic demographic decline is basically assured to continue.

Admin Comment: To the last Ukrainian, indeed...
πΊπΈπ¦ Interesting comment from a BoA analyst. If the full implications of interest rare hikes get baked into financial markets interest payments would rise by the equivalent of Japanese and German GDP combined. Post-QE global economy is way over-leveraged!

π©πͺπ΅π±πΊπ¦β‘Germany terminates an agreement with the Polish authorities on the repair of Leopard 2 tanks transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of Poland - Handelsblatt.
The reason for this step is called inadequately overpriced by 10 times from Poland. According to the German publication, about half of the Leopard 2 tanks delivered to Ukraine are already damaged.
Each tank requires several hundred hours of work to repair, so a service center on the border of Poland and Ukraine had to solve this problem. However, now, apparently, options for repairing damaged German equipment are being considered in other countries.
