UN: 10 million Ukrainian refugees and IDPs - not a loss of human capital.


Carolina Lindholm Billing from UNHCR stated that internally displaced Ukrainians actively contribute to the communities they have moved to, despite being forced to relocate due to the conflict with Russia. According to UNHCR, about 10 million Ukrainians are currently in a state of forced displacement, but they show high resilience and determination in their efforts to rebuild and acquire new skills to support the communities that have provided them shelter.
'Internally displaced persons and Ukrainian refugees are not just sitting idle; they are actively influencing the economic development of the countries where they are located, contributing to GDP growth and entrepreneurship, as seen in the example of Poland,' she emphasized.
Organizations agree that it is important not only to support internally displaced persons and refugees but also to actively implement programs and initiatives for their integration and further successful impact on the development of local communities.
Summary
Internally displaced persons and Ukrainian refugees demonstrate activity and perseverance in supporting the communities they are in, which in turn contributes to the economic growth of host countries. It is important to continue supporting these groups and provide them with opportunities for full integration into the new environment.
