Poland will stop providing benefits to Ukrainian refugees at the end
of this year and there are no decisions regarding their extension. This
was announced by the spokesperson for the Polish government, Petr
Muller, on the Polsat channel, reported Bloomberg.
According to Anna Schmidt, Deputy Minister of Family and Social
Policy, Poland has spent approximately 2.4 billion zlotys (550 million
dollars) on allowances for Ukrainian families who fled to Poland to
escape the war, up until May.
This decision is likely to increase tension, especially after
Poland’s ruling party “Law and Justice” extended the ban on grain
imports from Ukraine, ignoring the European Union’s decision to lift the
embargo. This move is seen as an effort to secure support from Polish
farmers ahead of the October 15th elections.
In 2022, following the onset of the full-scale invasion in Ukraine,
Poland eased entry for Ukrainians, allowing refugees to legally live,
study, work, and receive social benefits in the country through special
identification numbers.
