As a result of the fact that Ukraine is at the same time the country of origin, destination and transit of migrants, the territory of migration flows of different characteristics, different directions and different scales, ensuring state regulation in the field of migration is a complex task, the solution of which requires a complex, systematic approach, adequate funding, personnel and scientific software. The modern migration processes taking place in Ukraine are influenced by several important factors, which turned out to be insufficiently decisive and consistent, the promotion of European and Euro-Atlantic integration, in particular, the acquisition of a visa-free regime with the European Union. The migration experience and extensive networks formed as a result of the long-term participation of Ukrainians in migrations are a negative process for the socioeconomic development of the country.
