Of the 40,000 Ukrainian students who receive higher education in Poland, only 5-10% of them declare their desire to return and work in Ukraine.. At the same time, the number of Ukrainians who go to study in Poland is growing every year, the Ukrainian ambassador to Poland, Andrei Deshchitsa, said in an interview with the "Glavkom".

"Those polls that were conducted among students indicate that 5-10% declared that they want to return to Ukraine. The rest is going to continue studying or living in Poland. That's about half of them. The other half is going to go further to the West to study or work, "- said the ambassador.

At the same time, the ambassador noted that this does not mean that young people will not return to Ukraine at all, because in the long term they can form the basis for later returning to Ukraine and investing in it. On the other hand, young people leave the country, and this is a negative phenomenon, because they are demanded by the economy.

Dyshchyna noted that the figure he named earlier 1 million citizens who went to Poland is conditional.

"This is a very conventional figure. There are among them those who received a national visa, have a residence permit or work permit. It is very difficult to say whether all these people are further in Poland, because a person can go to Poland and travel further to other EU countries, "said the ambassador.

He also noted that it is not easy to calculate all labor migrants in a neighboring country, because according to the new Polish law, a Ukrainian who came to Poland immediately has the right to work. In parallel, this citizen submits documents for a work permit.

"There is a period of time between applying for a job and obtaining a permit that is not reflected in the statistics. And that's why we can not reliably know how many people are already working, but have not yet received permission, "he added..
