Gremi Personal's owner Evgenij Kirichenko commented to the BBC on the situation of Ukrainian labour migrants in Poland and on how the company managed to avoid a mass return of its workers to Ukraine after the border closures were announced. According to him, Polish businesses lack workers from Ukraine due to their mass departure in March and problems entering Poland. This makes it harder for companies to find workers, and Polish farmers are sounding the alarm. Thanks to diligently informing the workers who use the company's services, their mass departure abroad was avoided. “At our company only 4% of workers returned home, because we constantly inform them about the authorities' decisions on legal stay and border crossing,” Evgenij Kirichenko says in the BBC article.
