The average age of Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines is 43. That means Ukraine is now forced to rely on guys who are 50 and 60 years of age. Why? Because Ukraine has lost more than 500,000 killed in action and at least 700,000 wounded. Ukraine’s population, which was 40 million at the start of Russia’s invasion, is now estimated to be 27 million. Thirteen million Ukrainians have fled and are showing no signs of returning.
