Summary
Ukraine is struggling to reverse a severe population decline worsened by Russia’s invasion, with 6-10 million citizens still abroad.
To address this, the government created the Ministry of National Unity, prioritizing repatriation as part of a resilience plan.
However, security concerns, economic instability, and lack of services deter returns.
Ukraine faces an urgent labor shortage for post-war recovery, needing millions of workers by 2032, as prolonged displacement reduces the likelihood of return.
Where are you getting this data about what these refugees have left in Ukraine?
From acquaintances and colleagues who left Ukraine in 2022.
So it’s anecdotal.
What kind of statistics do you expect? Evaluating the financial situation of everyone who crossed the border would be complicated, if not illegal. The last census in Ukraine was done in 2001, we don’t even know the total population number, we can only estimate.
I’m not the one who made the claim. I just asked for the source.
