4–5. Lesser Poland and Silesian Voivodeships – popular southern regions

9% of Ukrainian citizens live in the Lesser Poland (Krakow) and Silesian (Katowice) provinces. These regions are attractive for their educational institutions and developed business environment.

Reasons for this distribution

The geographical distribution of the Ukrainian diaspora in Poland is primarily determined by economic factors, the presence of large cities with a developed labor market, and better conditions for integration. The central, western, and southern parts of the country have become the main regions where Ukrainians find a new home.

Despite possible changes in the future, it is already clear today that Poland has become a key destination for Ukrainian citizens in search of security and new opportunities.
