Ukraine’s Challenges

• Deaths twice more than born• Was the 6th biggest populated countries at the

gain of it’s independence• Population is decreasing at least a half a million

each year • Decreasing so quickly it is hard to recover from

the large loss of people

Future to Come

• Ukraine is in a terrible state at the moment and it is necessary to increase the number of individuals if not there will be serious problems.

• The population with continue decreasing if there is nothing done

• Losing so many people too quickly• Needs to improve information given out to people

Ukraine in the Wrong Direction
