Less than a fifth of refugees who arrived from Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion want to stay in Poland permanently, a central bank report showed on Tuesday.

  1. lvov was polish. compare: in the seventh century slavs overran greece, but twenty years later, maurice drove slavs out and sent ships to sicily to bring greeks back

  2. Anecdotal evidence, but I’ve been travelling a lot west-east through Poland (and countries further west) by trains.

    Trains traveling East to Przemyśl were almost always full of Ukrainians going back to their country. Almost always its women, women with children, grandmas.

    I think since the situation has stabilised and Ukraine has seen some war progress and relative safety. They feel it’s safe to come back.

  3. Obviously, this is one of the biggest differences between refugees and immigrants. Refugees only left their country because of war, so the vast majority will go back as soon as it’s safe.

    This isnt exclusive to Ukrainians. It’s what being a refugee is.

  4. Well Pols treated Ukrainian as a dirt before war and it didn’t change that much now. Stories we will see in 5-10years timeframe, from victims of abuse and how horrible some of refuges were mistreated, will be very bone chilling
