The government has created a Ministry of National Unity that hopes to attract residents abroad and ease the demographic crisis to address the reconstruction of the country

Summary

Ukraine is struggling to reverse a severe population decline worsened by Russia’s invasion, with 6-10 million citizens still abroad.

To address this, the government created the Ministry of National Unity, prioritizing repatriation as part of a resilience plan.

However, security concerns, economic instability, and lack of services deter returns.

Ukraine faces an urgent labor shortage for post-war recovery, needing millions of workers by 2032, as prolonged displacement reduces the likelihood of return.

    That is beyond an incredibly generous interpretation of their comment. In fact, that would have been a reasonable comment to make. But again, that wasn’t what they said.

      What part of my comment is unreasonable? Every part of it is truth. These nebulous plans for “post-war” are dumb, there is war. People that had resources and wanted to ran away from war won’t return unless something changed. Force them out from countries where they are is cruel and only gathers interest of very specific political parties, which won’t be interested in deportation. Infrastructure is badly damaged everywhere in the country and recovery is very slow.
