Poland Warns of Consequences of Ukrainians Stopping Work

Ukrainian citizens play a key role in the Polish economy. Poland's Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Maciej Duszczyk, stated that if Ukrainians were to stop working simultaneously, it would lead to a rapid halt in certain sectors of the economy. He noted that Ukrainians fill gaps in the Polish labor market, and their absence would significantly complicate life in the country. Duszczyk also opposed the forced deportation of Ukrainian men of conscription age, emphasizing that among them are those who care for children with disabilities and Ukrainian soldiers undergoing treatment in Poland. He pointed out that the return of refugees home after the end of hostilities will depend on living conditions in Ukraine and their integration into Polish society. As of the end of January 2026, there were officially 757,700 Ukrainian citizens working in Poland, accounting for nearly 68% of all employed foreigners. The total number of foreign workers exceeded 1.1 million, an increase of 7.1% compared to the previous year. Ukrainians are traditionally employed in logistics, services, manufacturing, construction, and transportation, but are increasingly choosing employers that offer social guarantees and opportunities for professional development.
