On Ukrainian TV they lament: The population is fleeing en masse to Poland
The working population of Ukraine after Euromaidan is fleeing en masse to Poland, said the TV presenter of the Ukrainian channel “Espresso”, addressing the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Affairs, Anna Gopko, who was present in the studio.
“Mrs. Ganna, how many times now every month do I observe the Poles beautifully taking away the intellectual elite from Ukraine? She leaves every day! Do you see this? - he said.
"I see it. Because, for example, in the Lviv region they work at a factory and say: “Listen, we already have plumbing, finding a mechanic is a huge problem,” Gopko recounted the conversation with her fellow Galicians.

As PolitNavigator reported, after Euromaidan, sharply the outflow of the population of Ukraine abroad has increased.
“In 2014-2015, about half a million Ukrainians received the right of permanent and temporary residence in Poland. According to the latest data, up to 1,3 million Ukrainians are counting on employment in Poland. This is a very serious number. We are only talking about those who find employment legally,” said the day before, Vice-President of the Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Yulia Drogovoz.
Ukrainian political scientist Dmitry Dzhangirov, in turn, said that Poland expects to lure about 20 million Ukrainian citizens over the next 5 years.
“We are noticing a large wave of Ukrainian migrants, some call them refugees, especially after the Maidan. Immediately after the Maidan, not after the war. Even before Crimea, a wave of Ukrainians began. We didn't have Ukrainians before. There were very, very few of them, now there are two million of them and there will be even more... The government wants even more, another five million Ukrainians. The Poles don’t really like this because they consider it a threat,” says the controversial Polish journalist Tomasz Maciejczuk.
