Germany and Japan absolutely took a huge economic hit after WW2 due to all the damages to the cities and the huge KIA of civilians and soldiers. Look at Japan here which took a demographic hit of several million between 1940 and 1945.
One big difference is that they had healthier demographics back then, meaning they could build new people to replace them in a generation. Ukraine does not have that as they barely have anyone being born. Their population is set to shrink. Every single educated person is worth their weight in gold.
