However, they are optimistic; after the end of the war, only a third of refugees are likely to return to Ukraine, according to a forecast by the Ptoukha Institute for Demography and Social Studies of Ukraine. Interestingly, in 2022 we could count on the return of about half of those who left. However, with each month of war, people increasingly begin to settle their lives abroad. In addition, according to demographers, people sometimes have nowhere to return to. Therefore, those who find themselves in such a situation are essentially starting their lives over in another country. In particular, seven out of ten Ukrainians aged 20–64 have already found not only refuge, but also stable employment abroad. Currently, there are about 5 million Ukrainian refugees outside the country: 4.4 million in EU countries and 600,000 in other non-EU countries (mainly Canada, the UK, and Moldova). At the same time, after the end of the war and the lifting of restrictions on the departure of men, another wave of migration may occur. Some may join families that have already settled abroad. Another reason for the departure of military personnel could be the difficulty of finding civilian work with income similar to military pay. Generally, Ukrainian demographers counted those who left for Europe, but did not count those who left for Russia.
And there are about 5 million of them. People have already found work, retirees are receiving pensions, everyone is organizing their lives without Ukraine.
And they will definitely not return to Ukraine. And the question is, will there be Ukraine at all?
Time will tell. Actually in Zaporozhye MAX chat bot.
