A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I guess that's the one clear advantage Ukraine has. Russia's expatriated intelligentsia and educated liberals ain't coming back..
*defenestrated
Many of these people have an apartment or other property left in Ukraine. There's an incentive to return. And not everyone can learn a new language.
Where are you getting this data about what these refugees have left in Ukraine?
From acquaintances and colleagues who left Ukraine in 2022.
So it's anecdotal.
What kind of statistics do you expect? Evaluating the financial situation of everyone who crossed the border would be complicated, if not illegal. The last census in Ukraine was done in 2001, we don't even know the total population number, we can only estimate.
I'm not the one who made the claim. I just asked for the source.
These plans are dumb as hell, there is a war, right now, peoplle dying every day from missile attacks. All power generation stations are either damaged or can't be scaled in short term. All infrastructure is damaged everywhere. There won't be post-war recovery. If these people don't want to return let them be wherever they want to be. Most of them are white and sometimes even work, so all anti-refugee politicians would be ok with them. I am glad that they are safe and alive.
Is this some kremlin talking point or what are you spewing?
I think he's saying the war needs to end before a lot of them come back, since they left because of the war...
That is beyond an incredibly generous interpretation of their comment. In fact, that would have been a reasonable comment to make. But again, that wasn't what they said.
I think it's a pretty grounded view tbh
What part of my comment is unreasonable? Every part of it is truth. These nebulous plans for "post-war" are dumb, there is war. People that had resources and wanted to ran away from war won't return unless something changed. Force them out from countries where they are is cruel and only gathers interest of very specific political parties, which won't be interested in deportation. Infrastructure is badly damaged everywhere in the country and recovery is very slow.
Pretty much the only conclusion that I can come to after reading his comment
Well, that's all good and sound, if you forget that they probably want to forcefully enroll repatriated people
