The International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted research into the needs and intentions of people displaced from Ukraine in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. 

The survey reveals that the main challenges for those displaced from Ukraine in Lithuania include financial stability (25% respondents identified this as their main challenge), the language barrier (21%), securing long-term accommodation (19%) and securing employment (19%). Needs for medicine, hygiene products, and clothing are ranked highly as well.

Eitvydas Bingelis, Head of Office at IOM Lithuania, said: 'When it comes to the integration of Ukrainians and the challenges this poses, we see that the challenges in the other Baltic countries are not fundamentally different. In Lithuania and Latvia, financial stability is the top priority, in Estonia - the language barrier. In Latvia and Estonia, Ukrainians also face the challenges of long-term renting (17% in Latvia, 21% in Estonia) and employment (31% in Latvia, 33% in Estonia)'.

Forms of assistance available to new arrivals from Ukraine were found to be broadly similar in the Baltic countries. Respondents indicated that the most common forms of assistance they accessed were food-related: 89% in Lithuania; 85% in Latvia; 76% in Estonia. A larger majority of respondents indicated that they had benefited from free transport and financial assistance.
