The Polish government plans to limit the "800+" program for Ukrainian refugees who do not work or pay taxes. The program provides 800 PLN per month for each child under 18. The decision aims to direct aid to those contributing to the economy. Prime Minister Donald Tusk and other politicians support this change. The new rules could affect thousands of Ukrainian families. The benefit was meant to support refugee integration, but cost concerns arose. The government stresses the need for savings and fair distribution. Critics warn that limiting the program may worsen conditions for many families. Some fear this change could increase social tensions. The decision has sparked public debate in Poland.
