Professor Illia Kononov, who has been a visiting professor from Ukraine since May 2022, recently published an article in the most recent issue of the Canadian Foreign Policy Journal, titled “Ukrainian refugees of the period of the Russian-Ukrainian war in NATO countries: the geopolitical context of the military migration crisis.” The article examines the “mass migration of Ukrainians abroad” as part of a wider geopolitical analysis of how war refugees “have become increasingly important in world migration flows.” But the outflow from Ukraine is unique in its “extraordinary size, speed of movement, gender and age imbalance, the predominance of urban residents with a high level of education.” Consequently, Ukraine faces a “demographic catastrophe and difficulties in the post-war reconstruction of the country,” for which the postwar order will have to prepare.
