difference between the consequences and the threats from short-term (seasonal) and long-term, as well as educational migration, with the subsequent change of the residence country forever. The study suggests a number of measures to accelerate the return of Ukrainian emigrants to their homeland and their reintegration in the framework of the adopted state migration strategy by means of developing effective motivational programs for the high-educated Ukrainian citizens who have traveled abroad to gain important professional experience in the political and social-economic state-building processes in highly developed countries. The investigation projects the further growth of Ukrainian population migration sentiment in case the negative tendencies of reforms immitating in the most important spheres are preserved and the general population impoverishment on the backdrop of exhausting protracted military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine takes place. The article reveals positive effects of return migration to Ukraine from the state development humanitarian investments and Ukraine’s international political situation improvement point of view.
Key words: reemigration, skilled migration, brain drain, reintegration, motivational programs for migrants` voluntary return, foreign policy implications of return migration.
