TOOLS FOR ENSURING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INCLUSION OF FORCED MIGRANTS IN THE CONDITIONS OF RUSSIAN AGGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE

Abstract

The article proves that the formation of an inclusive environment for persons who have found themselves in difficult life circumstances due to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is carried out through the provision of humanitarian assistance, creation of favourable conditions for employment and earning labour income, provision of legal assistance and protection, access to education and training, socio-cultural integration, etc. It is determined that the main responsibility for providing assistance to the population affected by the humanitarian crisis in the context of war lies with the government, local authorities, the private sector, faith communities, local civil society, NGOs, volunteers, international humanitarian organisations, donor and partner countries, etc. The author emphasises the important role of various international and national organisations and associations in the implementation of humanitarian initiatives since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine. It is substantiated that humanitarian aid and other charitable activities from various organisations have become a vital source of support for both forced users of temporary protection outside Ukraine and internally displaced persons. The author notes the role of grant funding and modern digital technologies in ensuring social and economic inclusion of vulnerable categories of forced migrants. The article examines Ukrainian and foreign experience in organising and conducting various events and activities for the socialisation and integration of war refugees. The author assesses the quantitative and qualitative indicators of forced resettlement, as well as the current state of funding for measures aimed at effectively addressing the migration challenges caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war.
