The Polish budget received $13 billion thanks to Ukrainians: Ukrainian refugees ‘gifted’ Poland an economic breakthrough, but this is a serious downside for Ukraine's budget, — MP Danilo Hetmantsev.

69% of our citizens are employed. And if we talk about the unemployment rate, it was 15% in 2024, and has decreased to 8% — this is less unemployment than we have in Ukraine. […] We are definitely interested in people returning.

However, there is no quick recipe for return, admits the people's representative. This is a long process, the beginning of which should be peace. And this is definitely not about benefits for refugees, because it would be unfair to those who stayed in Ukraine.
