Ukrainians: The 'New' Germans?

 A poll was done with a fair number of Ukrainians....there are presently just over one-million in Germany.

The question was....do you want to stay?  

37-percent said yes, and have no intention of leaving Germany.

Adding to this....another 27-percent have not really done a lot of thinking over this, and could go either way.  

Feeling welcome in German society?  That poll number came up to around 47-percent.  Fewer than 10-percent said they felt 'unwelcome'.  

Where this is going to lead to?

I would suggest that the war will come to some conclusion by the mid-part of 2023, with the Russian economy really falling apart by that point.

I would suspect...well over 500,000 Ukrainians will be a permanent thing in Germany.  For some of the rest....the longer that the war continues....the more likely they will stay as well.  

The numbers in Poland?  Unknown....but I would suspect similar polling numbers there.
