A third of internally displaced persons (34%) are not ready to return to their homes after the end of hostilities in eastern Ukraine, according to a study of the National Monitoring System on the Situation of Internally Displaced Persons, which was obtained by Ukrinform.

"The portion of those intending to return to their place of origin after the end of the conflict amounted to 23% of respondents. At the same time, 34% of the respondents expressed their intention not to return, even after the end of the conflict, which is consistent with the previous round (34%)," the study shows.

Compared to the previous round of the survey conducted in December 2018, the number of IDPs who are ready to return to Donbas after the conflict has decreased from 28% to 23%. At the same time, in September 2017, the number of such respondents was 32%.

In the latest round, 18% of respondents chose the answer "yes, maybe in future," compared to 15% in the previous round and 17% in September 2017.

The study of the National Monitoring System is conducted by the International Organization for Migration and the UN Migration Agency.
