More than 60% of Ukrainians would not want to leave for permanent residence in another country. This is evidenced by the results of a sociological study of the Gorshenin Institute.

68,4% of respondents said that they still want to live in Ukraine. When asked where exactly they would like to go for permanent residence in another country, 5,3% named Germany, 5,2% - Canada, 4,5% - Poland, 4% - USA, 2,9% - Russia, 1,9% - Belarus, 1,3% - Israel, 1,3% - France, 3,4% - another country; 4,7% of respondents found it difficult to answer.

It was possible to call no more than two answers.

Commenting on the results of the survey, the First Deputy Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Affairs, Ivanna Klimpush-Tsintsadze, noted that there are about 30% willing to leave Ukraine.

“This is a very serious call, which means that the active educated part of society is looking, perhaps in theory for now, for options on how to arrange their life in another country. If in the next few years we do not give a vision of the future, an understanding of how our children can get a quality education here, from secondary school to universities, if we do not give the opportunity to see how in this country they can provide for their lives, get loans, count on a stable income,” she noted.

“If we do not give this prospect, I am afraid that this figure will grow and, perhaps, one of those who declared such a desire will realize it,” she emphasized.

The study “Socio-political sentiments of the population of Ukraine” was conducted from February 8 to February 17, 2016. 2 thousand respondents aged 18 years and over were interviewed in all regions of Ukraine, excluding the population of the occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. The error does not exceed 2,2%.

In the Czech Republic, a threefold increase in requests from Ukrainian citizens, who are Czech by origin, for resettlement to this country is recorded.
