Join us for the upcoming Prague Process webinar

Three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, displacement remains one of the war’s most profound consequences. Millions of Ukrainians have sought refuge abroad or become internally displaced. While some have found temporary stability in host countries, many struggle with integration, employment, and legal challenges. At the same time, discussions on return and reconstruction are gaining momentum, but security concerns, infrastructure destruction, and economic hardships continue to obstruct large-scale returns.
The webinar will explore key trends in forced migration from Ukraine, including displacement scenarios, the impact of attacks on energy infrastructure, and evolving internal displacement dynamics. Speakers will also discuss the legal status of Ukrainians in the EU under temporary protection and long-term prospects, with insights from Czechia on managing the influx, labour market integration, and durable solutions.
