Abstract

The article highlights the changes in the migration situation in Ukraine after the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation, and proposes proposals for improving migration policy based on its analysis. It is determined that after the full-scale military invasion on February 24, 2022, Ukraine faced unprecedented challenges in its modern history. The military aggression against Ukraine has led to an unprecedented migration of the Ukrainian population since World War II. After Ukraine gained independence on August 24, 1991. Ukraine gained its independence on 24 November 1991, migration went through a certain evolution: at first, movements were mainly ethnic (due to the collapse of the USSR), Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, formerly politically repressed, returned to their homeland, and, over time, socio-economic factors of migration became decisive. As a result of the war, migration from Ukraine abroad became the only option for many Ukrainians to save their lives and families. Although temporary migration remains the predominant model of migration behaviour, there is a growing tendency for temporary migration to turn into permanent migration, which threatens to inevitably lead to the loss of a part of the intellectual and labour potential. The author proposes to urgently formulate an adequate state migration policy and legislation that will help ensure regulated and safe migration, protect the rights of migrants and create security, economic and social preconditions for the return of Ukrainians to their homeland. Key words: migration; migration policy; military aggression; Ukraine
