According to the Ministry of Culture, one in five cultural figures who leave Ukraine for abroad do not return.

One in five cultural figures who have left Ukraine for abroad with permission from the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications do not return. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Culture, Mykola Tochitsky, on October 14, as reported by LB.ua.
По данным Минкульта, каждый пятый культурный деятель, покинувший Украину, не возвращается обратно.

"In recent years, a system should have been established that would allow cultural figures to travel abroad. However, such a system does not exist. Daily, I have to review around 100 applications for departure, and I am unfamiliar with most of the names, which requires me to spend time researching information. I should also point out that out of five individuals who leave, one does not return," he stated.

In September, Tochitsky emphasized the need to create conditions so that all cultural figures could "freely travel abroad based on transparent rules."
