Forty percent of IDPs in Ukraine are ready to return to their homes if the Ukrainian authorities guarantee security in non-government controlled territories, according to a report on the results of a study "Prolonged Temporality: How IDPs Live in Places of Compact Living" by the Right to Protection charity foundation.

Forty percent of IDPs in Ukraine are ready to return to their homes if the Ukrainian authorities guarantee security in non-government controlled territories, according to a report on the results of a study "Prolonged Temporality: How IDPs Live in Places of Compact Living" by the Right to Protection charity foundation.

The results of the study were presented at a press conference at Ukrinform on Friday.

"Of all those surveyed, the majority (38%) do not currently consider any options for resettlement or return, 27% consider only the possibility of returning to their place of permanent residence, and 19% are focused solely on finding separate housing," the study said.

In general, 40% of IDPs consider returning to their place of residence under certain conditions.

"Mainly these are security guarantees (81%) and restoration of the Ukrainian authorities (61%). Quite a significant share is occupied by housing (29%), access to employment (20%), ensuring civil rights (16%) and access to medical care (14%)," the report said.

It also notes that the main reasons why IDPs do not consider returning to Donbas are ongoing hostilities (51%) and general danger in non-government controlled territories (49%).

"Quite common reasons are destroyed housing (23%) and better levels of social security in Ukrainian government-controlled territories (20%), better access to services (17%) and lack of livelihoods in Ukrainian non-government controlled territories (15%)," the study shows.
