In July, the Polish Sejm approved changes to the program of assistance to Ukrainian refugees, according to which, from November 1, the Collective Refugee Accommodation Centers (OZZ) will accept only representatives of protected groups from Ukraine. These groups include pensioners, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.

Later, on August 25, Navrotsky vetoed a bill implying the extension of special status and benefits for refugees from Ukraine. The Polish leader also proposed limiting the access of unemployed Ukrainian refugees to free medical insurance.
