Centers for the repatriation of Ukrainians may soon be established in the Czech Republic.

This was reported by Hana Mala, a representative of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic, as noted by IDNES.cz.

Ideas for Returning Refugees from Ukraine to Their Homes are Being Considered in the Czech Republic

The establishment of such centers is already being discussed in other countries, particularly in Germany and Poland. In the Czech Republic, these centers will not only assist with repatriation but also serve as cultural and community hubs for Ukrainians.

"The creation of return centers in the Czech Republic will, among other things, be the subject of a meeting with Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov, who is responsible for relations with Ukrainian citizens abroad and will visit the Czech Republic for this purpose on January 28, 2025," said Hana Mala from the Communications Department of the Ministry of the Interior.

According to Oleksiy Chernyshov, refugees who decide to return may, in many cases, be exempt from mobilization. He also noted that Ukraine is prepared to employ returnees, particularly in the defense industry, due to a shortage of skilled workers.

As of January 2025, approximately 390,000 Ukrainian citizens with temporary protection are in the Czech Republic. Czech Interior Minister Vít Rakušan also reported that about 60% of refugees plan to remain in the country even after the war ends.

It is worth noting that the U.S. has suspended the acceptance of immigrants into the country, including Ukrainians, as part of Donald Trump's policy.

Additionally, in Poland, payments to Ukrainian refugees may be cut.
