Sažetak
Recent geopolitical state in the Eastern Europe related to the Russian aggression on Ukraine have caused intensified forced relocations of the population in Ukraine and Europe in the context of exile and refugee movements. Forced (war) migration of the population of Ukraine took on very large proportions in the first months of the war and included between 12 and 14 million people by the beginning of May (estimated by the UN and IOM). It was established that both internal and external forced migrations of Ukraine have a pronounced spatial (regional) selectivity, with the fact that the displacement population within Ukraine is more pronounced in terms of intensity. Waves of refugees from Ukraine, estimated around 7, 6 million are mainly directed towards neighboring countries, and, in addition to geographic differentiation, they also show selectivity towards countries with a large representation of the Ukrainian emigrant contingent. Thus, the destinations of Ukrainian refugees coincide with European countries where there is a noticeable trend of increasing the number of Ukrainian immigrants, increased requests for asylum, issued residence and work permits for the population from Ukraine, namely with Poland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Germany and Spain, where about 80% of the emigrated population from Ukraine in the last decade lives (European Commission, 2022 ; UN 2019). According to the latest available data from the UNHCR (2022), approximately 15 million inhabitants of Ukraine participated in recent forced migrations, of which the largest number refers to those who went across the borders of Ukraine to neighboring countries, around 7, 6 million and a smaller number refers to internally displaced persons (refugees), about 7 million (UN, 2022). The aim of this presentation is to define the directions, intensity and characteristics of internal and external forced migration of Ukraine with special reference to the demographic analysis of threatened areas in the pre-war period in order to be able to determine the level of demographic destruction, indirect demographic consequences and potential of demographic renewal at national and regional level of Ukraine.
