🌍💧 Today, on World Water Day, we spotlight the crucial link between water, climate change, and migration. As our planet faces the escalating impacts of climate change and over 2.2 billion people lack access to fresh water, we look at sustainable solutions for climate-induced mobility through legal pathways that would also tackle labour needs.

Central Asia, within the Prague Process region, is particularly vulnerable, with potential for significant internal and external migration due to environmental stress. Our latest article explores the intertwined crises of water scarcity, climate change, and migration, highlighting the need for sustainable adaptation measures.

The Role of Ukrainian Diaspora 🇺🇦 in Crisis Response, Future Return and Reconstruction of Ukraine: Case Study from Germany 🇩🇪 Czech Republic 🇨🇿 and Poland 🇵🇱 - a new report produced within the framework of the RRR-MFA/SMS UA Project is now available online!

https://www.icmpd.org/file/download/60826/file/UA_Diaspora_Report_RRR_Project.pdf

The Ukrainian diaspora emerged as a crucial and proactive force in responding to the crisis following the Russian military attack on Ukraine in February 2022, playing a pivotal role in various aspects of humanitarian aid and support efforts. The Ukrainian diaspora was quick and efficient, mobilising resources, both financial and organisational, to provide immediate assistance to Ukrainian refugees who sought shelter in different parts of the world, particularly in European countries. Through establishing numerous organisations and collaborations with international entities, the diaspora engaged in activities such as humanitarian aid, legal assistance, healthcare provisions, educational support and social integration initiatives for displaced Ukrainians. The report on the Role of Ukrainian Diaspora in Crisis Response, Future Return and Reconstruction of Ukraine: Case Study from Germany, Czech Republic and Poland aims to analyse the activities of Ukrainian diaspora organisations and migrant communities in the three destination countries as well as demonstrate the diaspora’s role as a cornerstone for shaping a hopeful and prosperous future for Ukraine. The report was completed by Dr. Valeria Lazarenko (PhD) and edited by the project implementation team.

⁉️ На яких підставах можуть зараз перебувати в Україні іноземці, котрі воюють, з погляду міграційного законодавства?

– Це питання врегульовується ще з 2014 року, коли з'явились добровольчі формування, що не мали законодавчо закріпленого статусу. Ті іноземці, які в них значилися, мали купу проблем, бо їхній статус не був законодавчо врегульованим, не було визначено органів, які б відповідали за облік таких осіб та їх подальше супроводження.

‼️Для таких осіб було максимально спрощено врегулювання статусу перебування в Україні. Тобто іноземним громадянам, які бажали укласти контракт зі Збройними Силами України, продовжували строк перебування на території нашої держави, якщо він вже минув.

📃Також їм не потрібно оформлювати посвідку на тимчасове проживання. Для чого це зроблено? Для того, щоб мінімізувати контакти з міграційною службою.

📃У тебе підписаний контракт із ЗСУ, ти маєш військовий квиток – все, ти законно перебуваєш на території України.
Це стосується також укладення контракту з Національною гвардією України та Державною спеціальною службою транспорту.

Формально військовий квиток прирівняно до посвідки на тимчасове проживання. Оскільки існує ризик втрати посвідки, тоді треба звертатися до міграційної служби для її відновлення. А якщо бійці на фронті, зрозуміло, вони не мають змоги цим займатися.

✅Тому принципова позиція: якщо людина має військовий квиток, значить, законно перебуває в Україні.
