New data from the National Bank of Poland: how a million Ukrainians actually live abroad

Moods and rumors about the crisis in Poland due to Ukrainian refugees are just rumors that have no substantiation. Ukrainians in Poland have successfully adapted to the new living conditions during the war. Research among Ukrainians located in Poland confirms this. The founder of the publication Sestry.eu, Jerzy Wujcik, spoke about this for NV, as reported by 'Hlavkom'.

According to new data from the National Bank of Poland, it turned out that Ukrainians live comfortably and decently in Polish society. They continue to work, study, and lead a full life, regardless of the propaganda on the internet.

Where and how Ukrainians work in Poland

According to the study results, the main income of Ukrainians in Poland depends on their work rather than social benefits. They hold positions in various sectors, including industry, trade, gastronomy, and administrative work. Many of them have higher education and strive for development and integration into the new society.

Regarding Polish language skills, most Ukrainians have learned it through work, education, or social contacts. However, the language itself is not the main factor for integration; more important are social connections and trust among those around them.

Relations between Ukrainians and Poles

The study revealed that relations between Ukrainians and Poles in Poland are not tense, as might be assumed. On the contrary, daily contacts between people in various spheres of life stimulate positive relationships and contribute to mutual understanding.

Some problems faced by Ukrainians in Poland relate to education, healthcare, and access to social services. However, this does not cause intergroup conflicts, and interactions between people remain positive.

How Ukrainians see the future in Poland

The study showed that the demand among Ukrainians for the opportunity to stay and live in Poland is growing. This is related to job availability, education, and the lack of possibility to return to their homeland. Ukrainians actively play a role in the development of Polish society and have the potential to modernize the country’s economy.

Ukrainian refugees in Poland have successfully adapted to new conditions and work in various sectors of the economy. They have learned Polish and communicate with locals, which fosters positive relationships between Ukrainians and Poles. The future for Ukrainians in Poland looks promising, with a desire to stay and actively participate in the life of the country.
