The Director of the Mikhail Ptukha Institute of Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Ella Libanova, in an interview for LIGA.net, spoke about how the war affects the demographic situation in Ukraine, why some Ukrainians abroad do not plan to return, and what the state can do to preserve human capital.

Among the key topics are the information war for Ukrainians abroad, the assessment of the chances of refugees returning, the situation with labor migration, as well as long-term risks for the pension system and the preservation of Ukraine's human potential. Ella Libanova emphasizes: the return of refugees is not only a matter of security but also the presence of clear signals that the state can offer prospects.
