Ukraine’s defence forces lost control of over 3,600 sq km of territory in 2024, losing more than 20 sq km per day in November. In 2023, they lost a total of about 540 sq km and liberated about 430 sq km.
Ukraine’s losses as a percentage of population are already not so far from what those hypothetical 23mln would feel. Cause Russia’s population is 140mln, and Ukraine’s population was about 40mln, but unfortunately a lot of that number became refugees.
Yes though it seems some formerly friendly to Ukraine countries are becoming less friendly and turning a cynical eye towards Ukrainian refugees. Maybe some of those will return to Ukraine and help in the war effort (or even just help contribute to the economy which helps the war effort indirectly).

People most of all care for their families.
Yes and that’s such an important part of returning home: reuniting with your family.
