There is a direct connection between Poland’s economic miracle and Ukrainian workers, which is only strengthened by the influx of war refugees in need of work.
A survey conducted by the EWL Migration Platform, the EWL Foundation, and the Center for East European Studies at the University of Warsaw found that potential EU and NATO membership of Ukraine would be a key factor in convincing Ukrainian refugees in Poland to return home. According to the study, 57% of respondents cited EU membership and 47% cited NATO membership as major incentives for returning.
