That's just a bit of it I had kept to go through the numbers "As many as five to six million out of Ukraine’s 18-million employable population work in Russia enjoying privileged terms of sojourn as compared with other foreigners, Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists on Friday. “If Ukraine joins the European Union, we will have to think how to settle this aspect of our relations,” he stressed. 

“We have a special sojourn regime for Ukrainian citizens in Russia,” Putin noted. “The regime is even more privileged than the one for citizens of countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, the citizens of which are allowed to stay in Russia for a month, while Ukrainian citizens can stay, or, as a matter of fact, work in Russia for three months without registration. And what do they do when this three-month term expires? They do not even leave Russia - they just send their passports to Ukraine for being stamped.”

“Well, there are many questions which require a serious approach. I hope contacts with the European Commission will be resumed,” Putin added."

What I was thinking of, is, apart from the compatriots resettlement program, the growing flow of refugees to speed up the review of live and work visas, who and on which basis people get jobs? What do they say?
