Council of Ministers adopts draft special act on assistance to refugees from Ukraine

The government has adopted a draft law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens in connection with an armed conflict in the territory of this country, which provides for the possibility of legal stay and the right to work for refugees for a period of 18 months with the possibility of extending it to three years, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki informed. The planned regulation of the act will establish support for Polish families admitting Ukrainian citizens at the level of about PLN 40 per day per person.

"Today, at the meeting of the Council of Ministers, we adopted a special law, which was developed urgently in recent days by the minister of the interior and administration. This law is primarily intended to propose a kind of substitute for a normal life for all those who came to Poland," Morawiecki said.

The act also provides for assigning a PESEL number to Ukrainian citizens who came to Poland in connection with the war. This solution will allow for the implementation of many public services for these people.
