This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a post that was published by Dubilet in its Telegram channel.
“Since 2010, almost 4 million Ukrainians have remained abroad. Migration has a pronounced cyclical nature. The constant trend is up. The exception is in 2014, ”he wrote.
Along with this, the minister added that a visa-free regime with the EU did not significantly affect the final migration figures and balances.
“I explain this by the fact that there was a redistribution - people began to travel less to Russia (at least officially), and more to Europe,” the politician said.
Earlier, Dubilet said that, according to the State Statistics Service, it will be necessary to spend 5 billion hryvnias (about $ 207 million) on the census of the country.
In February, the former head of the Ukrainian government, Mykola Azarov, in an interview with NSN, commented on data on a reduction in the country's population.
