There are a lot of reasons for that one of them is longing for motherland. In case of leaving behind close bonds is estrangement from the context of home country. This situation has a bad influence on the migrants as a community and is beneficial for host country.
The homesickness is the reason for many migrants to search for communities of people of the same nation. As well, it is a kind of support system for newly arrived migrants who is looking for a help or an advice. During the beginning of the war a lot of Ukrainians formed kind of international community for help with daily needs such as finding housing and spreading information. But now people stay in local communities more likely for comfort than because of the avail.
The reason for leaving close relationships behind is simple. The migrants would prefer to leave a bad memories of motherland behind and create a new life. In case of refugees, that desire is explained by the wish of forgetting the traumatic experience cause by a war.

Eventually separated themselves from homeland’s context and began to forget bonds with home country because it had caused them to much moral damage. For hosting country, it means new workforce and for migrants, identity crisis.
