Zelensky: Return of 9.5 million Ukrainians from abroad is decisive for reconstruction

The key role of citizens in state restoration

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasised that the return of approximately 9.5 million Ukrainians currently abroad is of paramount importance for the country's future. According to the head of state, these people are the primary resource for the full restoration of social life and the economy after the end of hostilities.

Human potential as the foundation of reconstruction

In his statement, Volodymyr Zelensky noted that millions of citizens were forced to leave their homes due to the destruction of housing and the ongoing war. They are currently scattered across various countries of the world. The President stressed that their return is necessary not only for normalising daily life but also for ensuring a large-scale reconstruction process.

The state views the creation of conditions for the return of the population as a priority task. In the opinion of the head of state, the return of citizens will form the necessary human capital, which will allow for the restoration of infrastructure and stimulate the development of the economic sector.
