President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has emphasized the importance of the new Ministry of National Unity in encouraging the diaspora to return home, highlighting this as a key priority in Ukraine's resilience plan.
Olga Pyschulina notes the new ministry's challenge of enticing millions living abroad to return is compounded by a lack of clear mechanisms for doing so.
Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov mentioned varied estimates regarding the Ukrainian diaspora abroad, indicating uncertainty on how many are targeted for return by the new ministry.
Economic expert Volodymyr Landa estimates that approximately five million Ukrainians are currently living abroad, complicating the overarching goal of demographic recovery after the war.
