Why Are Refugees Returning to Ukraine?

In this episode, learn more about why nearly a third of Ukrainian refugees are returning home, choosing to live in danger in Ukraine rather than live with the uncertainties of being a refugee. These Ukrainians are returning home for a variety of reasons – to reunite with family, to find a way to make money, and because of perceived safety in parts of Ukraine. However, better support for these refugees in host countries – childcare, employment opportunities, more freedom of movement – would make premature repatriation less likely, Alice Hickson writes in this Terrain Analysis.
