Not saying that they were 15 -17 three years ago and could leave abroad, our families- that's 1-2 children at most, for decades now. (The situation US, apparently, wants to avoid by not giving easy access to abortion). Besides, Ukraine fights with a three times bigger country, fights for own existence.
