THE INCULTURATION AND ADAPTATION OF UKRAINIANS IN EUROPE AFTER THE FULL-SCALE RUSSIAN INVASION :MAIN TRENDS AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

In the article is analyzed the main trends and challenges related to the adaptation and inculturation of Ukrainian citizens in refugee status in Europe after the full-scale russian invasion. The analysis found that after the events of February
24, the EU created a certain regulatory framework that for many months provided a legal basis for the stay of temporarily displaced persons from Ukraine in the EU, as well as an appropriate basis for adaptation and inculturation. The unique
situation of Ukrainian migrants is that many of them were de-jure integrated in many European countries in the first weeks and months of the war, and the actual adaptation of these people took place after they received the right to temporary
residence. It is established that most of the data on the problems of temporarily displaced persons from Ukraine are published in various international reports, sociological studies and journalistic materials. It should be noted that a full-fledged
sociological analysis of the environment of migrants from Ukraine is currently difficult. The study revealed the qualitative characteristics of migrants (refugees) in compact settlements as a new group that interacts with various local authorities and civil society in EU countries to establish communication for successful inculturation. There is evidence that the russian federation's war against Ukraine has mobilized a large number of Ukrainians living outside their country to support Ukraine. They were gradually joined by some migrants who integrated into the respective Ukrainian communities in different EU countries. Many of these communities have established their own civic organizations, foundations, unions, and associations for mutual assistance and support of Ukraine and Ukrainians.
