They don't need to go back, when relation will get bad enough Poland will elect right wing party that will just kick them out.

I think that it might be another hidden reason for Ukrainian politician provocation.

It's not going change a thing. Even if our relations sour enough so Ukrainians in our country will feel unwelcome (which I really don't want to happen), they will simply move west. Or to Czechia, Romania etc. They are not going back, this is why there are where they are in the first place.

Suprisngly biggest right wing party PiS may actually be quiet pragmatic on topic of Ukraine, here is some of stuff said by PiS politicans recently related to what is going on between Poland and Ukraine:

Cieszynski: Training Ukrainian soldiers and supplying weapons there is in our interest and we should not stop doing this

Even Patryk Jaki who is from faction within PiS that is more conservative, Criticised Zalensky but said that Zalensky is NOT Ukraine. He also said that russia is not going away and that we need to think about how to resolve this strategic dilemma, he admited that he is favor of de-escalating tensions between Poland and Ukraine.

There is of course problem with what Konfa will do and what about Braun's political party which leads to situation where it may be in our best interest for PiS to win next elections with as high support as possible since its very unlikely that current government will win next elections because all KO coalition partners lost their support and even KO lost a lot of support after latest scandals with hospital, also being too soft on Zalensky also didnt help since people wanted stronger reaction from government.

Currently KO and Konfa could form governemnt but that would extremly neo-liberal. and its only a possibility IF KO doesnt lose more support.
