On a beach in Odessa, Ukrainian civilians captured footage of some children playing a game where they pretend to be conscription officers seizing men. The war will have an impact on generations of Ukrainians; this generation of Ukrainian children is growing up amidst artillery fire, fleeing, and separation.
The current birth rate in Ukraine is sharply declining, and combined with large-scale population emigration, Ukraine will face a prolonged period of population shrinkage. A large number of young and middle-aged men have died or been disabled in the war, leading to an imbalance in the gender ratio of the labor force. Regardless of the outcome of the war, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine has completely broken down, and Ukraine will remain in a state of military confrontation for a long time, forcing the younger generation to continue serving in the military.
