It was so predictable:

  • Ukraine victory condition in 2022: retake everything, Crimea beach party, siege of Moscow, Putin dead, balkanisation of Russia
  • Ukraine victory condition in 2024: be a nuisance

How the mighty have fallen...

strange, the population is growing rapidly under the genocidal Soviet occupation, and right after liberation starts decreasing just as rapidly...

The Soviets forced workers to take time off work and to live in affordable housing, knowing that the workers would fall into the trap of enjoying some of their free time naked. The Soviets were despicable like that.

where does that expected drop come from?

Probably a combination of expected emigration (due to the country's destruction) and the death of many young people (which decreases birth rate and causes even more economic destruction).
