Thus, in her blog, Gerashchenko stated that the Polish official greatly exaggerated this figure, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Officials must announce official figures, which show that about 80 Ukrainians have recently received refugee status in Poland. That’s exactly how many refugees there are in Poland,” Gerashchenko wrote.
All other Ukrainians in Poland, according to her, are labor migrants who are helping to restore the Polish economy.
“Tens of thousands of Ukrainians, in times of economic crisis, provoked, among other things, by the war, working in neighboring countries, including Poland, strengthening its economy, putting their hands, minds, strength, Ukrainian hard work and sincerity into the formation of Polish GDP. It seems to me that it would be honest for the Polish authorities to thank the Ukrainians for this,” believes the Vice Speaker of the Rada.
