Polish president proposes restricting state benefits for Ukrainians

WARSAW: Poland’s president unveiled plans on Monday to limit Ukrainians’ access to child benefits and health care, while also proposing a ban on the glorification of a 20th-century Ukrainian nationalist leader, in a sign of a hardening stance toward refugees. Poland has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest backers since Russia invaded in 2022, but some Poles have grown weary of large numbers of refugees, while tensions between Warsaw and Kyiv over World War Two Volhynia massacres have at times come to the surface. Official data shows some 1.5 million Ukrainian citizens currently reside in Poland.
