Approximately half of Ukrainians who fled abroad because of the war will remain there permanently, Oleksiy Pozniak, a researcher at the Institute of Demography and Social Studies, told RBC-Ukraine.
He believes the likelihood of emigrants returning depends on how the war ends. "If it’s just a frozen conflict without solid guarantees against a recurrence, that’s one scenario. If there are genuine guarantees and at least part of the territory occupied by Russia is returned, that’s another situation," he explained.
According to the expert, there is currently a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the potential resolution of the war.
"What does global experience tell us? The majority of those who return do so in the first few years after the end of the war. This is evidenced by the experience of the wars in the former Yugoslavia. At the same time, some people from those countries settled in other states and continue to live there," Poznyak added.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that politician and physician Olha Bohomolets warned that the Ukrainian nation could disappear within a few generations.
