Terrible figures: migrants are returning en masse from Ukraine to Russia — People's Deputy of Rada

About 150 thousand migrants returned from Ukraine to Russian territory. This was stated in an interview with Ukrinform by People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Servant of the People Maxim Tkachenko.

"Already about 150 thousand internally displaced persons have returned to (Russian. — EADaily) territories. For example, according to available data, 200 thousand Mariupol residents left their city, fleeing from the war… At the same time, every third returned home to Mariupol. According to estimates, this is about 67-70 thousand people. In my opinion, these are terrible figures," Tkachenko said, quoted by Strana.

According to the deputy, in the territory controlled by Ukraine, these people "did not receive proper assistance from the state — neither housing, nor social support, compensation, work, etc." In addition, a large number of temporarily displaced persons "could not find a job because of the skeptical attitude of employers towards them, and all those proposals, which are provided to immigrants are really very low-paid."

Note that this is only official statistics.

In turn, Ukrainian volunteers report that they are taking Donbass migrants back to their hometowns near the front line. According to the author of the video, he helps his clients move from Odessa back to Pokrovsk. According to him, they also return there from Dnepropetrovsk.

Earlier, Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets reported that not only residents of Mariupol were coming to Russian territories, but the head of the Servant of the People party, Elena Shulyak, stated that the state policy on supporting immigrants had completely failed.
