Germany Lures Ukrainian Refugees from Poland with Higher Wages and Benefits

Poland is losing large numbers of Ukrainian refugees to Germany, which offers higher wages and more government benefits.

150,000 of the 350,000 refugees who left Poland went to Germany, according to a new study.

Germans already in Germany help newly arriving Ukrainians settle there through existing networks.

Germany offers higher wages, more benefits, better medical care, and free language classes, attracting Ukrainians.

It's unknown how many Ukrainians will ultimately return to Ukraine, depending on postwar conditions there.
