The 2001 census was the most recent, and the only census conducted in independent Ukraine to date.
The next census was to have been held ten years later, in 2011 (censuses should be conducted every ten years, according to standards set by the United Nations). However, the next census has been regularly delayed and a date for a new census has not been set.

Putin's nukes will re-heat the frozen assets, stabilise the mobile population and reduce Russia's nuke threat by the number of fired missiles.

The case of Ukraine is showing that the UN is pointless.
The 5 permanent members should be leading the way
by enforcing law and order – solving problems by talk instead of war.
Russia might as well have said that -
'we don't care about the UN – we'll just take whatever we want by force'

It's crazy -
we have one permanent member, China giving a
"no-limits friendship” with Russia – to fight Ukraine,
and we have 3 permanent members: USA, UK and France
supporting Ukraine against the permanent member Russia.
So now the 5 permanent members of the UN are fighting each other in
the largest war since WW2.
The UN has become a farce.

The United States continues to import low-enriched uranium from Russia,
which is a key feedstock for producing nuclear reactor fuel.

The United States continues to import low-enriched uranium from Russia, which is a key feedstock for producing nuclear reactor fuel. This trade takes place despite mutual restrictions: a US import embargo (in force since May 2024) and a Russian export ban (since November 2024). It remains possible due to one-off permits issued by both sides.

From Russia’s perspective, the lack of actual enforcement of the embargo on supplies to the US underscores the importance of Rosatom and its subsidiaries. Since 2022, the Russian authorities have refrained from using uranium deliveries as a political instrument and have allowed continued cooperation even with countries deemed hostile by the Kremlin – with the United States being the prime example. This suggests that, for Moscow, maintaining Rosatom’s standing in a key market and preserving its reputation as a reliable supplier are of critical value, as they facilitate operations in other countries. This is particularly significant in the context of bidding for contracts to construct nuclear power plants abroad – projects that create long-term ties between the host country and Russian state-owned companies, thereby deepening multidimensional dependency on Russia.

Well - a war to the last Ukrainian; with US and EU soldiers not involved.

While Trump is happy to sell arms to the EU, and Russia is keen to sell nuclear plant technology to India, as you noted.

Morality?

Looks like Trump is leaving Europe for Putin to grab:
