The media and social networks spread the news that almost 50% of Ukrainian refugees want to stay in Poland. The news was spread concerning the expert's statement and survey data, but this information was distorted, and incorrect conclusions were drawn.

In fact, as StopFake writes, a survey conducted by the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of War Research in Ukraine, conducted from April 15 to May 10 among Ukrainian refugees in Poland shows that only 17% of respondents plan to stay there forever; 14% said that they still want to work in Poland, and then they will return home with earnings, and 3% plan to obtain Polish citizenship. Another survey (from 4Service) shows that 89% of respondents plan to return home after the war's end; 3% do not plan to return at all; another 4% hesitate but are inclined to stay in Europe; 4% - undecided. At the same time, 67% of Ukrainians assume they may stay abroad if the war drags on. In addition, Natalya Zaytseva-Chipak, director of the Ukrainian public opinion research center "Sotsioinform," was twisted: she said that 50% of Poland wanted to return to Ukraine. However, she did not conclude that the other half plans to stay there - the media has already added that.
