DESCRIPTION:Based on my ongoing ethnographic fieldwork in Romania\, I expl
 ore the strategies of leaving and staying of migrants from Ukraine under t
 he conditions of radical uncertainty. Romania is both a host and a transit
  country - almost 1.4 million people crossed its border from Ukraine and o
 ver 100 000 received temporary protection there - which makes it a strateg
 ic research site for exploring the trajectories of forced migrants. Throug
 h participating in networks of local volunteers in Bucharest and collectin
 g migrants' life stories\, I reconstruct how those displaced manage the pr
 operty and household members left behind in Ukraine\, their temporal inter
 pretive schemes of the war and identity-formation\, as well as their tacti
 cs of coping in host communities under short-term planning horizons. Preli
 minary results of my fieldwork demonstrate a cleavage between the temporal
  imaginary of Ukrainian refugees as participants in the war of national li
 beration and their pragmatic choices of coping with economic and social un
 certainty that drives them towards contemplating long-term integration int
 o the host communities.
