ON February 24, 2022, Russian troops entered Ukraine’s territory to start the largest armed struggle in Europe since the Second World War. According to United Nations data, nearly 14 million Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes, and almost 8 million have fled their country: mainly women, children and old people.
Almost every Pole got involved in helping Ukrainian refuge-seekers. The spontaneous response of the Polish society exceeded all expectations, as 70 percent of adult Poles joined in the effort to help the refugees. People offered their rooms, or even entire flats. With 7 percent of Poles doing so, several hundred-thousand families were housed in private homes, rather than placed in camps, as was the case during similar crises.
The wave of refugees caused by the war is mainly made up of women. Over 60 percent of them came with their children, so they need to secure a place in a school or nursery before they can look for a job. Ukrainians may take up and carry out business activity in Poland on the same terms as Polish citizens. The new rules have applied to more than 450,000 new employees. With about 600,000 working-age Ukrainian refugees registered in Poland, this means that some 60 percent have found a job.
