Ukraine is much worse at population collapse. Mostly due to implementing all insane western policies after 2014 to "become west" and "join EU".
Interesting, that people on Ukraine really wanted "Shengen zone", to have an ability to freely travel and work in Europe, not joining EU with all that woke and economic shit. However, only visa-free to Poland was achieved few years ago (2019, IIRC).
Up to that moment huge amount of male Ukraine citizens work in Russia. Even me often hired Ukrainins for different backyard and construction jobs. Ukrainians, being really Russians, certainly much smarter and do the job much better than Tajiks and even Moldavians. AFAIK, only IT business in Ukraine was relatively profitable and allowed to feed family because of low taxes for IT business. That changed in 2014 too, "to adjust tax inequality". And, of course, that was not lowering taxes for other industries.
So, from mid-90s to 2019 with great rise in 2014, a lot of men from Ukraine most time lived and worked in Russia, so couldn't make children at home. This noticeably damaged birth rate in Ukraine ialong with all that woke and economic EU demands.
