How many refugees ultimately return to Ukraine is a question with important ramifications: for refugees themselves, for their host countries, and for Ukraine's capacity to rebuild.
In Germany, a Bucha survivor looks homeward
In the town of Stralsund – at the edge of the Baltic Sea, a thousand miles from her home – she gave birth to her son, Ellis. “A large share of Ukrainians will not be ready, or willing, to return for quite some time,” analysts wrote in their study of the poll. Poland has taken in 1.5 million Ukrainians, the most of any nation – many of whom were greeted with help from hot meals at the border to housing – as well as health insurance, education and other benefits.
Many reach out to them on Telegram in messages that underscore the suffering driving people to flee Ukraine: People without heat or electricity. Workers who are unable to earn money. Residents exhausted by air raids. Parents seeking a safe life for their children. Women journeying alone as their husbands fight in the war. On Jan. 10, one of those messages arrived from a 42-year-old man named Buryi Mykhailo.
Mykhailo told Lukashevych that he still wants to be able to visit relatives in Ukraine and Europe. But the priority, he said, is to stay legally in the United States and build a new life.Ben Stiller meets Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, calls him his 'hero'Cody Godwin, Associated Press About 110,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the U.S. as part of the Biden administration's Uniting for Ukraine program, which grants humanitarian parole for displaced Ukrainians who have a U.S. sponsor. About 35,000 have been approved for arrival, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
In Minneapolis, some of the Ukrainian arrivals, many of them well educated, work for employers including Home Depot, which allows them to send money to relatives in Ukraine. Rudenko herself has sent battery banks and electric blankets to her family. Though most men are barred from emigrating, Volianiuk said he was allowed to leave Ukraine because he has three children. After months in Poland, he was admitted to the U.S. in the fall under a program that allows members of religious minorities in former Soviet Union countries to join U.S. family members.
Though he’s determined to stay, he said, views on eventually returning are mixed among those who fled the war. How many ultimately return is hard to predict based on past examples, she said, in part because of how the Ukrainian crisis differs. During the Syrian war’s refugee crisis, it was mainly men who went abroad first to find work and then bring their families. In Ukraine’s case, it’s mostly women and children.
