Ukrainian refugees may be in Europe for good

1. Wait til you hear about Syrian refugees.

   But seriously, a large percentage of refugees simply stay in the country that took them in. It’s not exactly easy to send them back – politically or physically – and many don’t want to go.

2. It’s not exactly a surprise is it? The war in Ukraine is still raging and the situation there might even become worse, not really ideal conditions to go back to.

3. No matter how this conflict ends, Ukraine looks to be fucked for the coming decades, unless the EU does a Marshall plan type thing for Ukraine, and that doesn’t seem likely. Opinion polls are already saying that most Ukrainian refugees have no intention of returning home and I don’t blame them.

4. Guess the endless proxy war was worth it huh? With 20% of Ukraine’s population gone and all.

   So much for future resilience and deterrence when you’ve lost 8 million people in 3 years…

5. Well, anyone who finds a better life abroad will stay, it has happened in the past and it will happen again.People want to live normally and move on with their lives.

6. Didn’t they have an emigration crisis *before* the war? The Russian invasion probably enabled a lot of young people to leave who otherwise wouldn’t have qualified to immigrate to other countries lol

7. The data on their economic productivity and criminality tends to show Europe didn’t get a bad detail. In the UK Ukrainians were already small net contributors by 2024. Plus most of the Ukrainian refugees were women. Compare and contrast off of the welfare dependancy and gender distribution of other refugee populations, and I will most people don’t mind the Ukrainians.
