The government has created a Ministry of National Unity that hopes to attract residents abroad and ease the demographic crisis to address the reconstruction of the country

Summary

Ukraine is struggling to reverse a severe population decline worsened by Russia’s invasion, with 6-10 million citizens still abroad.

To address this, the government created the Ministry of National Unity, prioritizing repatriation as part of a resilience plan.

However, security concerns, economic instability, and lack of services deter returns.

Ukraine faces an urgent labor shortage for post-war recovery, needing millions of workers by 2032, as prolonged displacement reduces the likelihood of return.
