Another 100,000 citizens have left Ukraine since the beginning of the year - Ministry of Economy

Since the beginning of 2025, more than 100,000 Ukrainians have travelled abroad, despite a decrease in the rate of emigration compared to the previous year. Such data was released by the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy.

The number of refugees has decreased by 300 thousand

As of 16 December 2024, the total number of Ukrainian refugees was 300 thousand more than in mid-May 2025. The Ministry of Economy believes that this indicates a moderate reduction in the flow of outgoing citizens.
