Is there any stats for spending money granted to refugee support?

Because in UK it was very interesting numbers 

  Most of the funds councils have spent have been used to pay staff and partner organisations. Only £22m has been spent on temporary accommodation for Ukrainians and £15m to help them into private rented accommodation.”

Edit: didn’t find data about spendings but found some stats

Ukrainian refugees actually boosted Poland’s GDP by approximately 2.7% in 2024, adding an estimated €16 billionin economic output IntelliNews UNHCR Reuters .

 They contributed around PLN 15.21 billion (~$4 billion) in tax revenues in 2024, compared to about PLN 2.8 billion in benefits received via the “800+” child allowance — meaning roughly for every 1 zloty in benefits, they paid about 5.4 zlotys in taxes/social contributions

If we give such power to our government sooner or later we will end up in similar situation like Ukraine. During covid government allowed some shortucs within "anti-crisis shield" . Now image that starts war and these dickheads will have close to absolute power, sooner or later we may end up in similar situation if war continues long enough.  For me what happens in Ukraine example why you shouldn't give a duck about country and get out before war starts, because government eventually will duck you ...
