A series of missile strikes this past weekend by Russia against Ukrainian cities, including Lviv, the western city that has been housing a large number of the internally displaced Ukrainians, has increased the likelihood of a new wave of Ukrainian migrants. But other factors—including potential energy disruptions in Ukraine this winter and in food and fertilizer exports leading to famine in Africa—are also expected to impact the number of migrants from Ukraine and Africa.
These and other issues will be addressed in a panel discussion, sponsored jointly by the Center for Immigration Studies and the Hungarian Migration Research Institute, on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9:30 a.m. ET. Experts from the United States and Europe will examine the refugee and internally displaced person (IDP) challenges produced by the war and faced by Ukraine, Europe, Africa, and the United States.
Hear from researchers who have recently returned from a fact-finding trip to Ukraine about internal displacement and the energy situation as winter approaches. Hear how Ukrainians are coming to the United States now, and what we might expect in the future.
