About 443,000 Ukrainians left their country last year and have not returned, according to Ukraine's border guards.
Hundreds of thousands have fled Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion almost three years ago to seek safety, with some fleeing mandatory military conscription.
Opendatabot, a Ukrainian company that provides access to government data from public records, said on Wednesday on the Telegram social media platform: “Two percent of Ukrainians who left last year did not return to Ukraine... This is 3.3 times more than in 2023.”
According to the State Border Guard Service, about 3 million citizens have not returned to the country in nearly three years of war.
Ukrainian media stressed that these figures refer only to citizens who left the country through official border crossings. There is no reliable information on the number of Ukrainians leaving Russian-occupied territories.
According to EU data, 4.2 million Ukrainians held temporary protection status in the bloc as of August 31, 2024.
Sixty percent of the total number of Ukrainian refugees were in just three countries – Germany (1.1 million), Poland (975,000) and the Czech Republic (376,000).
