Abstract

The article highlights the topic of migration processes in Ukraine and summarizes the preliminary results of sociological monitoring of forced migrants from Ukraine abroad, which were provoked by the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine. Quantitative indicators of migrants, their sex-age structure, directions of migrants' follow-up, problems they face abroad are studied. The scientific novelty of the article consists in a comprehensive analysis of new sociological and demographic data regarding the scale of forced resettlement within Ukraine and abroad, and as a result − a negative impact on the gene pool of Ukraine.Population movements within Ukraine and abroad are unprecedented, the most massive in Europe since the Second World War. These processes require scientific understanding, and the assessment of their scope and consequences is becoming extremely relevant. The authors of this article used the methods of generalization, analysis and synthesis, abstraction, forecasting, objectivity, and the statistical method. The importance of the article lies in the possibility of using the author's reasoning and conclusions to assess trends and forecast the situation in demographic policy.The authors drew attention to the opportunities and assistance provided by the governments of countries receiving Ukrainian forced migrants in order to adapt them to new changes and living conditions, which in the future may cause Ukrainians to settle down and not return home. Taking into account the migration situation in Ukraine, there is a need not to prevent the emigration of Ukrainians, but to develop projects and plans for the re-emigration of Ukrainian citizens, since it is the development of such opportunities and prospects that can interest them to return.The relevance of the research requires a generalization of the modern forced migration crisis in the conditions of war. A correct assessment of the number, attitudes and experiences of forced external migrants requires the development of a comprehensive methodology that will take into account data from various sources and information support through surveys both in Ukraine and abroad.Keywords:forced migration, temporarily displaced persons, expectations and migration attitudes.
