Next week, the Polish parliament may change the rules for granting benefits to Ukrainians staying in Poland. Ukrainians will not be able to receive benefits without a valid passport. This was reported by The Guardian.

According to the innovation, Ukrainian citizens will be required to present a valid passport to receive benefits in Poland. Previously, Ukrainian refugees could do this by providing any other document proving their identity.

Thus, the new rules will cut about 80% of benefits for people without passports. In addition, it is not known whether such people will be able to work legally.

How exactly the new rules will work probably won't be clear until the new law on mobilization comes into force. It is possible that men will be able to update their data in the military register using a mobile app from abroad, rather than returning home to do so.

The publication quotes Ihor Lisin, vice president of the Foundation Ukraine organization, who works with Ukrainians in Poland: "The less people know, the more they fear."

According to him, there is no legal instrument to force Ukrainians to return from abroad.

The British publication writes that "fatigue from Ukraine" is growing in Polish society due to the prolongation of the war. This is evidenced by the protests that Poles have organized on the border with Ukraine, as well as polls showing that the attitude toward Ukrainian refugees is becoming less and less friendly.
