The article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the repatriation process of Ukrainian prisoners of war from Austria between 1918 and 1920. It examines the contributions of Ukrainian organizations, such as the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Military and Sanitary Mission, in evacuating Ukrainian POWs, delivering humanitarian aid, and organizing cultural and educational activities. The impact of foreign policy events, as well as the policies of the Central Powers and later the Entente, in delaying the full-scale repatriation of Ukrainian POWs is also explored. The article analyses various stages of repatriation, evacuation routes, and the living conditions of Ukrainian POWs during this period using descriptive, problem-oriented, chronological, and historical-comparative methods.
