The majority of Ukrainian refugees hope to return home as soon as possible while around two-thirds expect to stay in their current host countries until hostilities subside and the security situation improves, according to a new UN survey.
4,871 displaced Ukrainians were interviewed between mid-May and mid-June 2022. 82% of those interviewed said that they had to separate from at least one or more immediate family members who stayed behind in Ukraine.
The interviews were carried out in Poland, Moldova, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic. 90% of respondents were female, 54% of which were between the ages of 35 and 59. 34% were aged between 18-34 while just 12% were over 60.
