Numerous Ukrainians were forced to flee the state as a result of the Russian invasion. In an attempt to escape the war, people left behind their relatives and native places with the sole purpose of survival. At the same time, a lot of Ukrainians still stay within the country’s borders. For some people this is a strong bond with the Motherland, for others, it is the inability to move away which played a role in their decision to stay in Ukraine. A number of nations warmly welcomed the refugees, and yet many Ukrainians want and do return home.
