That's crazy. Ukraine used to be as big as Russia - 40 million people used to live there. Now it's a wasteland

Calling them a wasteland is rather misleading, it's mostly the war with Russia that's causing the population outflow.

Russia has like 140 million people, Ukraine had like 44 million pre war. The 28.5-29 million are only for the part of Ukraine that is currently under Ukrainian control.

Russia has like 140 million people orcs

Which is approximately equivalent to 39-42 million people. The same

I don't think dehumanising the enemy is something we should do. They're people like everyone else, people who commit terrible atrocities because of a megalomaniac dictator

The war crimes like torture, hunting civilians with drones, and rape are not performed by Putin. Maybe calling the entire Russian population orcs is a bit much, but the Russian soldiers orcs don't deserve that kind of consideration

Do they also count those who fled or only the ones still in Ukraine?
