Abstract

The current study examined the migration decision-making process of refugees from Ukraine who arrived in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Israel following the Russian-Ukraine war. Sixty semi-structured interviews with refugees from Ukraine were conducted, with 20 interviews in each country. The findings revealed that the war was perceived as a surprise and led to unplanned waves of departure and decisions based on coincidence. By analyzing different dimensions of proximity―geographical, cultural, and social―we present the complexity of the process in its various stages and the factors that led to the decision to immigrate to each of the countries.
