There is also an animation on Wikipedia until 2021. In the last year (2021) it says roughly 170k men per age between 20-25. So the drop to 80k in the 2023 graphics is dramatic.
I found some explanations that the census was missing for many years (you can also see a revision around 2017), so some of the missing people might never have been there.
But this drop is so massive that I see no other explanation than a big migration.
And sadly, these new numbers show that Ukraine has a bigger problem than previously thought to find enough fighters to liberate the country.
And why don't you think that the low birth rates of the 90s-2000 is a valid explanation?
Because in 2021 the numbers for that age group where around 180k, so why should it now be 80k?
It is hard to believe that for 20 years you have miscounted the population by a factor of 2.
