Ukrainian births apparently fell to a more than 300 year low in 2023. The lowest low of ~187,000 births is due to both the humongous number of women aged 18-40 who have left the country as well as other effects from a war that cratered an already low TFR.
Births may have fallen even further (to below 180,000) in 2024. Considering births were sub 90,000 in the first half of 2024 this is very possible. If the millions of women who fled in 2022 and 2023 never return, Ukraine faces an existential threat even if they come out of the war still holding ~80% of their territory.

The Trump freezes to foreign aid have revealed that many pro refugee, LGBT, "civil society" organizations in Poland rely on US government funding.
For example the "to proste" foundation promoting openess in Poland was funded by US taxpayers, as was the campaign agaisnt homophobia
These foundations now will need to lay off employees

Poland's "Krytyka Polityczna" has announced it has lost funding due to Donald Trump decision to suspend American foreign aid.
Krytyka Polityczna claims to be the largest progressive network of institutions and activists in Central and Eastern Europe. It's mission is "building a new leftist environment in Poland"
It was not previously known they were funded by the US government

With how many central European leftist orgs and media are announcing that they have lost previously undisclosed US gov funding, I wonder how many more are keeping quiet and not mentioning it publicly
