In a month, from July 1, the Polish government will stop paying aid of 40 zlotys a day (approximately UAH 276) for food and accommodation for Ukrainian refugees and counts on their employment and self-sufficiency, said Deputy Interior Minister and Commissioner for Refugees Pavel Shefernaker, the newspaper reports..

"

He added that there will be exceptions.. People with disabilities, pregnant women or large families will receive payments.

Poland in a special act on assistance to Ukrainian refugees guaranteed benefits for the first 60 days. A month ago, assistance was extended for another 60 days. It won't be extended again..

" In addition, we see that many Ukrainians are looking for work, find it and cope with everything.. We want to encourage others to be active. Four months of full protection is, in our opinion, a sufficient period,"

The newspaper Rzeczpospolita writes that the government made such a decision because of the high costs of maintaining refugees..
