Lured by conditions abroad, Ukrainian workers won’t stay home after quarantine ease

Ukrainian seasonal workers wearing face masks wait for a charter flight to Finland at Kyiv Boryspil International Airport in Kyiv on May 13, 2020. When Ukraine closed its borders amid the COVID-19 pandemic on March 17, hundreds of Ukrainian migrant workers were stranded at home. Left without seasonal workers, some countries, including Poland and Finland, organized special flights to bring Ukrainians back to the fields.
