The Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity is developing a strategy for the return of Ukrainians from abroad. To bring people back, certain social support needs to be created. This was announced by the Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity, Denys Uliutin, on the air of the telethon, as reported by UNN.
To bring people back to Ukraine, here in the country, we must create certain social support for them, something that will enable them to return. What do people usually need? It's a security situation, it's the economic part - work, employment. Also, it's the cultural part, social services. We are currently working on developing a strategy for the return of Ukrainians. Therefore, all these areas must be clearly defined so that they have a place to return to.
Uliutin noted that the ministry understands that the security situation currently does not allow people to think about returning right now.
We understand that the gap between us and them is starting to widen. For this, we are creating Unity Centers abroad. Currently, four agreements have already been signed directly - these are the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, where we will open Unity Centers. These are centers of Ukrainian identity, cultural unity, educational unity, these are centers of activity for Ukrainians abroad. This is what we will do so that they feel that we need them.
