Ukrainian refugees may be in Europe for good

Three years into the war in Ukraine, the information centre for refugees in Krakow, in southern Poland, is doing brisk business. But things have changed. At the start of the war Ukrainians asked for help finding housing and work. These days, says Ludmila Dimitrow, the centre’s co-ordinator, they mostly seek advice on acquiring permanent residency or Polish citizenship. Polish classes are booming. “Whenever we open up a new course for 25 people, 400 apply,” says Ms Dimitrow.
