Over the past few years, Ukraine has witnessed large-scale challenges and a humanitarian crisis caused by the military conflict in the east of the country. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes, seeking safety abroad. Some of them chose international protection in different European countries.
At the same time, depending on the country, the share of such Ukrainians differs significantly, according to a study by the migration platform EWL, conducted jointly with the Center for East European Studies of the University of Warsaw.
It turned out that more than half of Ukrainian citizens in Germany (57%) see the future of their children in this country, while 39% - in Ukraine. But in the Netherlands, the situation is the opposite - more than half (60%) see the future of their children in Ukraine and only 29% - in their current country of residence.
At the same time, half of the surveyed Ukrainians in Germany (51%) and the Netherlands (50%) reported that they came with children under the age of 18. A third of respondents (33%) have one child in both countries. The average age of the youngest child in Germany is 8 years, in the Netherlands it is 9 years.
