Today, a year after the Russian aggression began, there are approximately 2 million Ukrainians living in Poland. However, a breakthrough in the migration processes taking place in Poland took place as early as 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimea and sparked a conflict in the Donbas. Since then, Ukrainians seeking work began to arrive in Poland in large numbers. This was helped by Poles’ positive attitude towards labour immigration from culturally close countries, low unemployment and, above all, liberal laws allowing citizens of six Eastern European countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Moldova, Georgia and Armenia) to take up employment with virtually no restrictions.
