How does Poland help Ukraine?
According to the Polish Economic Institute, the Poles have already spent about 10 billion zlotys on helping Ukrainians, and the Polish government - 15.9 billion zlotys. The amount of aid can be about 1% of Poland's GDP. In terms of military aid to Ukraine, Poland is second only to the United States.
In turn, the Poles note that Ukrainians often thank them and the Polish authorities. This tendency persists both in personal contacts and in questionnaires filled out by refugees.
It is also worth noting that over the past six months, the mood of Ukrainian refugees in Poland has changed significantly. In particular, the number of Ukrainians who do not plan to return home has doubled.
