Ambassador Bodnar explained the problems Ukrainians may face upon returning home

Ukrainians returning from abroad may encounter difficulties, including social tension and emotional alienation. This was reported by Ukraine's ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Bodnar, in an interview with Radio Liberty, as informed by Glavkom.

The diplomat noted that these issues have already manifested in schools, where children returning from abroad or those who have experienced the war in Ukraine face communication challenges.

Support is needed for Ukrainians wishing to return

'We are receiving inquiries from people who wish to return. However, there are questions about housing, jobs, pensions, and bank cards. It all depends on how much support the government provides,' emphasized the ambassador.

He also noted that a majority of Ukrainian refugees wish to return home, and about 70% of them are ready to do so if the conflict stops.

However, there are also those who have already adapted and built a new life abroad. This constitutes a minority, according to him.

The fears of Ukrainians are not widespread

'Now is not the time to divide Ukrainians into those who left and those who stayed. Such approaches only deepen the divide,' summed up the ambassador.

Ambassador Vasyl Bodnar emphasized the importance of support for Ukrainians who wish to return home. He also pointed out that despite the challenges, a significant number of refugees are willing to return when the situation in the east of the country stabilizes.
