The law adopted in September 2025 provides for the extension of the legal stay of Ukrainian refugees in Poland until March 4, 2026, but at the same time tightens the requirements for receiving financial assistance.
The document defines a list of benefits that will not be provided to citizens of Ukraine if they do not work in Poland. This includes, in particular, medical rehabilitation, addiction treatment programs, health care, access to prescription drugs, and dental services.
Social support will be received only by those Ukrainians who are officially employed and whose children attend Polish schools. An exception is made for parents of children with disabilities.
Recall
Karol Nawrocki emphasized that supporting Ukraine does not relieve him of the obligation to defend Warsaw's interests. He mentioned the lack of gratitude, unresolved exhumation issues, and the agricultural product crisis.
