– In the near future, this requires document preparation, there will be a whole series of deportations by plane. Of course, when it comes to Ukrainian citizens, these deportations are not by plane, but we deliver them to the border. These are often people who […] are simply conscripted into the Ukrainian army – said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info’s “Guest of the Morning”.

– There are, of course, the most Ukrainian citizens in Poland, the vast majority of whom work honestly, earn money, and function. However, to those who are dishonest, who commit crimes, we say: there is no place for them in Poland – he stated.

“Deportations concern individuals whose crimes are of a lighter nature”
– I expect the numbers this year to be higher [than last year, when 8,000 deportations occurred] – he added.

– Of course, we also remember that those who are perpetrators of crimes are serving time in Poland. Deportations concern those individuals whose crimes are of a lighter nature. A large part of these are offenses related to overstaying a visa without permission, working without permission, and notorious traffic violations. […] These individuals [who have committed serious crimes], if arrested in Poland, will be tried in Poland. Of course, there are agreements that such individuals can later serve their prison sentences in their home country – he continued.
