I will try to find the X link for this.
https://t.me/beboandfriends/98873— Europe wants to keep the refugees.
Zelensky wants to bring back the refugees, but much of Central and Eastern Europe is suffering from labor shortages, and countries like Poland and the Czech Republic are reluctant to lose people.
At the start of the conflict, 17 million Ukrainians – more than a third of the pre-war population – fled their homes. More than 6 million remain refugees abroad, including about 1.3 million who had left for Russia as of the end of last year. Ukraine’s central bank predicts another 400,000 will leave the country this year. Zelensky is trying to persuade allies to help bring more military-age men back to Ukraine.
Politicians from Poland to Hungary have said they will not send refugees back as long as the military conflict continues. But there is a key economic reason to keep them. Thus, in the Czech Republic, Ukrainian refugees paid almost twice as much in taxes as they received in benefits. The construction industry, for example, would have completely stopped without Ukrainian workers.

Millions of poles went west after 2004, so yes they will want to keep the new people to bolster their workforce

It's BS we don't want them here at most. Who wants them here are businessmen. Our cities are overflood, nor our waste management nor traffic and parking, nor are houses built for this pressure. Also criminality rises and cities centers are full of drunk idiots with no future who don't mind getting jailed after they stab your kid.
They deflect out jobs market because they are willing to work for lower salaries.
I guess only us ourselves are responsible for the mess in our countries. We pray for the god to take them all anyway.
