Abstract. The Republic of Moldova, including the Transnistrian region, has become one stop on the massive flow of displaced Ukrainians to the west. Many of them decided to settle in the region. It is relevant to understand how displaced Ukrainians settle in the region and which problems they face. Among Ukrainian migrants in Transnistria, women predominate (about 85%). About 50% of refugees are between 30 and 50 years old. The presence of displaced Ukrainians in Transnistria has a certain impact on the demographic situation in the region, but statistical accounting of this impact remains a problem. The adaptation of Ukrainian immigrants to Transnistria can be supported by a number of factors, including the region’s proximity to Ukraine (especially from Odessa), a favorable cultural and linguistic environment, a simplified registration system, and the availability of educational services, including in the Ukrainian language. The adaptation of Ukrainian immigrants to Transnistria may face a number of factors that may pose obstacles to successful integration, including differences in traditions and customs between Ukraine and Transnistria (for example, the use of pro-Russian symbols in the region), limited social services available to resettlers, low levels of payment labor and difficulty finding work. The current situation aggravates the issue of the effectiveness of the Transnistrian authorities’ policy to attract and retain the population through measures to create jobs, provide affordable housing and support families.
