The article analyzes the main trends and characteristics of migration processes formed in Ukraine as a result of a large-scale Russian aggression which began on February 24, 2022. It is emphasized that the migration processes in Ukraine are in constant dynamics, affecting the pan-European migration picture. The methodological basis of this study is the theory of culture shock, cultural distance and adaptation psychology, scientific works on conflictology, studies of social exclusion and discrimination, concepts of ethno-cultural boundaries and social distance, political science research on risk factors and the functioning of diasporas. The article notes that the formation of migration sentiments in Ukrainian society was influenced by the growing social instability, starting with the Orange Revolution of 2004 and ending with the military actions in the territory of Ukraine in 2014-2024. Since 2014, a new social group has emerged in Ukraine – internally displaced persons (IDPs). The large-scale hostilities in Ukraine (since February 24, 2022) have led to a significant increase in the number of internally displaced persons and immigrants outside the country. The migration processes that have intensified in Ukraine as a consequence of the Russian aggression have had a significant impact on the socio-economic, political, legal, spiritual and cultural spheres both in Ukraine and in Europe as a whole. Overcoming the negative migration trends caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war requires of the state elaboration of a comprehensive, scientifically based strategy which will differ significantly, if the war continues, and after its end.
