“…Gebremedhin et al (2013), Becker (2022) emphasize the importance of a country's political stability for sustainable economic growth. Regarding the flow of migrants in peace regions since the Second World War, most authors concluded the economic nature of migration, where the main factors that stimulate people to migrate are the search for new opportunities in other countries against the background of insufficient 1 IOM, Ukraine response operational update, 4-10 October, 2022, p. 1: https://www.iom.int/sites/g/files/tmzbdl486/files/situation_reports/file/IOM%20Ukraine%20Operational%20SitRep%20%23 26_%204%20to%2010%20October%5dB46%5D.pdf income and low living standards in native country (Sekela & Khomra, 1997, Kupets, 2016, Fialkowska, 2019.

The large-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led to a significant increase in the indicators of migration flows of the Ukrainian population, the absolute values of which increased by 10 or more times compared to previous periods. The authors evaluated the dynamics of indicators of population migration in the state, both internal and external, and found a number of similarities and differences between subsequent migration waves. Based on the study, the indicators of migration flows were grouped into three waves disaggregated by time. The first group is from the obtaining the country's independence to the first stage of the military invasion of Ukraine, as a period of peace in the state (1991–2014). The second one begins with Russian aggression (2014–2022) and the third group is a large-scale invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine (from 2022). The use of statistical and economic methods (scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, descriptive statistics’ methods, econometric modelling, regression point and interval estimates) and SWOT analysis provided a basis for determining a number of challenges, threats and opportunities for the countries of origin and destination regarding the prospects for the development of migration processes.

“…Against a background of the demographic crisis, Poland continues to remove restrictions on Ukrainian workers, actively opening up access to its labor markets and educational services (replacement migration policy). Kupets (2016), Ihnatenko et al (2019), and Pietnoczka (2018) studied Ukraine's European in-tegration behavior and the impact of ratification of the Association Agreement with the EU on various spheres of life, including migration activity of the population of Ukraine. Although there is an opinion that Ukraine is not ready to join the EU due to significant economic and social disparities compared to European countries (Van Mol et al, 2018), it is worth agreeing on the need to develop joint practices and initiatives in the field of migration policy to meet Ukraine-EU socio-economic interests (Habchak & Dubis, 2019;Vasyltsiv et al, 2019;Wunderlich, 2012).…”

The growing Ukrainian migration towards EU countries determines the need for evaluation of pull factors shaping their environment to regulate these processes better. The study aims to assess the EU’s pull environment attracting migrants, and evaluate the elasticity of Ukrainian total and labor migration to the change of social and economic factors in EU countries. The data are collected for the period from 2005 to 2018. The method involves weighting the indicators and sub-indices with the following calculating partial and integral indices of the pull environment of migration for selected EU countries (the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Greece, and Spain) and the EU-28. During 2005–2018, the integral level of pull environment of migration in the EU-28 was above average, whereas the most attractive countries for external migrants were Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Italy. In terms of the intensity of total migration from Ukraine in 2018, Poland (236.06 departures per 1,000 Ukrainians), Hungary (73.6), Germany (12.6), and Italy (7.3) are among the main destinations. While the intensity of Ukrainian migration is high, its growth rate depends on the time lag (different elasticities in the medium and long run). The integral analysis of the pull environment has a practical value allowing to conduct migration intensity and elasticity evaluation, as well as the cross-country pull-factor analysis (pull strength) for substantiating the improvement of regulatory and methodological provisions of migration policies for both Ukraine and the hosting EU states. AcknowledgmentThe study has been conducted within the framework of applied research “Mechanisms of the proactive policy for reducing social vulnerability of the population (based on the Carpathian region of Ukraine)” (M. Dolishniy Institute of Regional Research of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Reg. No. 0121U112014, 2021–2023).

“…Since the occupation of Crimea and the outbreak of war in Donbas in 2014, there has been a considerable increase in applications for work permit. The general worsening of the economic situation has forced high-skilled Ukrainians to migrateto do low-skilled work in Sweden, as it is often paid better than qualified work in Ukraine (Kupets 2016). Also, after the 2014 outbreak of the military conflict, there has been a considerable increase in applications for asylum (Migrationsverket, 2013(Migrationsverket, -2019.…”

“…Ukrainian men are viewed primarily as breadwinners, which helps to justify their move in search of better economic prospects (Feduyk & Kindler 2016). Ukrainian migrant women, in contrast, can be blamed for abandoning their children, ruining families and creating a care drain in the country (Tolstokorova 2013;Kupets 2016). A Ukrainian migrant woman has to be recognized as appropriately poor to justify leaving her family to society (Solari 2019).…”

Materialising Care across Borders: Sent Things and Family Ties between Sweden and Ukraine

This article is an exploration of transnational family links and how they are materialised. Based on interviews with Ukrainian migrants living in Sweden, we discuss different dimensions of the everyday practices of sending things back and forth between family members. We find that what these packages embody and represent are more complex than tropes of economic need, obligation and responsibility allow for. Of course, in many senses they do reveal stories of highly gendered practices of care and duty, and economic divides between Sweden and Ukraine. We find, however, that they are also stories of mutuality, love, fun and shifting post-Soviet subjectivities. This article then both underlines the enduring importance of physical things in maintaining close family connections across distance and reminds us that these material connections are not fixed but instead are mutable circulations, shaping and shaped by generational change and lifecourse experiences.
