For example, according to available data, 200 thousand residents of Mariupol left their city, fleeing the war… At the same time, one in three returned to Mariupol. According to estimates, there are between 67 and 70 thousand people. “In my opinion, those are terrible numbers.” – said Tkachenko, quoted by the publication Strana.
According to the deputy, in the territory controlled by Ukraine, these people “did not receive adequate help from the state: no housing, no social support, no compensation, no work, etc.” Furthermore, a large number of temporarily displaced people “could not find work due to the skeptical attitude of employers towards them, and all offers made to displaced people are, in fact, very poorly paid.”
