he hybrid war, which has violated Ukraine’s territorial
integrity and has been reducing working-age
population by claiming the lives of civilians and
militaries for the last two years, became the main
catalyst for internal migration of Ukrainians. he
subject of the research is fate of almost 3 million
(according to oicial igures) internally displaced persons,
including the author. During the two years since
the beginning of the military conlict in the East
of Ukraine, half of Donbas residents have become
either refugees or internally displaced persons. Future
