Losing the Last Property: Popenko Explained Why People Are Fleeing Ukraine

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are returning en masse to temporarily occupied territories due to the inability to pay utility bills in areas controlled by Ukraine. An advisor to the mayor of Mariupol stated that thousands of people have returned to this city and the Kherson region. Experts confirm this problem and emphasize the necessity of addressing the housing issue, which is the main motivation for residents to return to occupied territories.

There is also a mass exodus from Ukrainian cities due to the inability to pay utility bills and the threat of losing their homes. Experts warn of a potential crisis and massive losses of property for the Ukrainian population in the event of the introduction of a household law. Measures must be taken to prevent further escalation of the situation and loss of housing.
