The VoiCEE podcast: how Poland and the region are coping eight months into the Ukraine refugee crisis

In this episode of The VoiCEE podcast, Agnieszka Wądołowska, deputy editor of Notes from Poland, speaks with Maciej Duszyczk, a professor at the University of Warsaw's Centre of Migration Research. They discuss the situation of Ukrainian refugees in Poland and how it has changed in the last eight months - how some have found their place on the job market and in the education system and how some still remain off the grid. They analyse how much we know about Ukrainian migrants in Poland, how Poles perceive them, and the support they have been receiving. They also talk about the challenges created by the Belarus-orchestrated migration into Poland and how the "impenetrable wall" erected by the Polish government on the border might not be a solution to all the problems. Last but not least, they look at the region, and compare the various responses of Central and Eastern European countries to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the refugees seeking shelter, as well as if regional solidarity concerning migration challenges is possible or even needed.
