Understanding the Needs of Ukrainian Displaced Persons

This report presents findings from Kantar Public's Voice of Ukraine study, which investigates the experiences and challenges faced by Ukrainian displaced persons since the onset of the Russian invasion. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods, gathering insights from over 12,000 respondents across the European Union. The report outlines the migration patterns, future plans, and integration experiences of these individuals. Key findings indicate a significant shift in the respondents' intentions regarding returning to Ukraine, with a decrease in those planning to return as the war continues. The report also highlights the obstacles faced in integrating into host countries, particularly language barriers, which hinder employment opportunities despite a high level of education among respondents. Policymakers and organizations are urged to provide accessible language resources to support the integration of displaced Ukrainians. The report underscores the evolving nature of the needs and expectations of this population as they navigate their circumstances during an ongoing conflict.
