How many Ukrainians are ready to return home - survey

This is evidenced by the data of a survey conducted by the Legislative Initiatives Laboratory.

However, as noted, these figures will change as Ukrainians become more and more rooted abroad.

As noted by LZI analyst Volodymyr Skrypets, two-thirds of Ukrainian refugees live in separate housing, with up to 44% saying they can afford rent.

At the same time, 68 per cent of respondents receive assistance from the country they are in. This support is therefore crucial in the decision to stay. Its cancellation at the end of the war may encourage Ukrainians to return, says Oleksiy Poznyak, Head of the Department of Migration Studies at the Ptukha Institute of Demography and Social Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Another important aspect influencing the decision to return is social magnets: relatives and friends. This factor often turns out to be decisive.

If a wife and husband leave, there is a big chance that they will stay abroad. And vice versa. If one of the family members stayed in Ukraine, the others will try to go back, - Vladimir Skripets told Socialportal.
