Summary/Abstract: The Russo–Ukrainian war has resulted in a continuous and large-scale forced migration from Ukraine to Central and Western Europe. The movement patterns and the distribution of destinations differ signifi-cantly from the 2015 refugee crisis. The aim of our study is to present the characteristics of Ukrainian international migration in the period before the Russo–Ukrainian war, to contextualize these movements demographi-cally and economically and to draw attention to the crucial role of Hungary and the Visegrád countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary) in Ukrainian migration.
