Poland is outraged by the expensive cars and leisure of Ukrainian refugees, - minister.


In Poland, it caused outrage among citizens for Ukrainians to stay in elite hotels and own expensive cars. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in his interview with Interia.
Commenting on the proposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Władysław Sikorski to deprive social benefits for Ukrainian men of draft age, Kosiniak-Kamysz noted that in this way men can be encouraged to return to Ukraine. But these measures should be common to all of Europe, not just Poland.
"Then Polish employers would be worried that if Poland adopted such a decision, Ukrainian citizens would go to Germany or Italy. Therefore, the decision that Minister Sikorski spoke of should have a European scale", - stated Kosiniak-Kamysz.
The head of the Ministry of Defense also noted that Poles do not like it when Ukrainians in Poland lead a luxurious lifestyle amidst the war in Ukraine and the help that Poles are providing.
"First of all, our society is very outraged by the fact that young men from Ukraine drive the best cars and spend weekends in five-star hotels. This is unfair to Poles who contribute to healthcare, education, supply of weapons, and other assistance", - stated Kosiniak-Kamysz.
In addition, Kosiniak-Kamysz told that Poland is training 25 thousand Ukrainian soldiers, but would like to expand the training program for Ukrainian volunteers living in Poland.
Earlier, Poland suspended the right to provide asylum.
