Introduction
Since February 2022, the war in Ukraine has forced millions to flee their homes, with Georgia becoming both a temporary refuge and a long-term destination for many. Over two years after displacement, many Ukrainians in Georgia still struggle financially, face barriers to integration, and have uncertain return prospects.
The report presents the perspectives and experiences of Ukrainian respondents, reflecting their views on displacement, current living conditions, and future plans. It seeks to identify their concerns and challenges related to returning to their home country, while also addressing their present circumstances.
While security risk remains obvious obstacles to returning, this study highlights how economic instability, limited job opportunities, and lack of structured reintegration support are becoming just as critical in shaping displaced persons’ future plans.
Many respondents express hesitancy about returning, citing a combination of security concerns, particularly those from frontline and occupied territories, alongside economic and housing uncertainties. Overall, the findings underscore the urgent need for concrete pre-and post-return assistance programs that offer guarantees of safety, economic reintegration, and housing support in Ukraine, ensuring that displaced Ukrainians can confidently rebuild their lives. In summary, addressing these multifaceted challenges is essential to facilitate a successful return and reintegration process for those affected by displacement.
