UKRAINE HAS A PROBLEM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT – YOUNG WOMEN ARE LEAVING IN DROVES
> Locked in a costly war of attrition against Russia, there are concerns over how the country will rebuild after the fighting stops
> Since the war broke out and martial law was introduced, young men have been banned from leaving Ukraine after they turn 18, but young women like Ms Kira Yukhymenko are free to leave.
> In three years of conflict, large numbers of them have chosen to do so, swapping war-torn Ukraine for European cities far from the threat of Vladimir Putin’s drones and bombs. Few have returned, and more are leaving with every passing year. As well as being a brain drain – some of Ukraine’s brightest and best are among those leaving the country – the emigration wave is also a demographic time bomb.
> Locked in a costly war of attrition against Russia, there are real concerns over who will rebuild the country once the war is over, if the nation’s youth does not return.
> Sofia, a student in the front row wearing a cream jumper and gold, hooped earrings, said the longer the war goes on, the more people want to leave. “When the war started people were very enthusiastic,” she began. “But a lot of time has gone by and people are more depressed. They think there’s a better life in another country.”
> Taras Hryvniak, 17, a former student at Lviv Physics and Maths Lyceum, left his family to study at the University of Vienna, Austria. When he turns 18, if he crosses the border back into Ukraine, he will not be allowed to return. Taras denied that Ukraine’s conscription laws influenced his choice, but admits: “My family loved this decision very much because my mum is scared for me.”
