Support for Ukraine in Poland has halved: what is happening with Ukrainians.

According to inkorr.com: Support for Ukraine in Polish society has decreased from 95% to 48% over the past three years. This has led to an increase in cases of discrimination against Ukrainians and growing skepticism among Polish politicians. As Bloomberg notes, Poland is no longer the symbol of solidarity with Ukraine that it once was.

Changes in attitude towards Ukrainian refugees

In 2022, 94% of Polish citizens supported the acceptance of Ukrainian refugees, while in 2025 only half consider such assistance justified. The other half believes that state payments for Ukrainians are 'too generous.'

The decline in support occurs alongside an increase in xenophobic incidents. Bloomberg mentions an incident in Warsaw where a Ukrainian-speaking woman was insulted by a man in military camouflage, while those standing around remained indifferent.

Tension in Polish society

This sharp negative shift in the moods of Polish society and the positions of politicians creates a tense atmosphere for Ukrainians living in Poland.

This situation may indicate a change in the direction of support from Polish society. The decline in support levels may reflect broader socio-economic issues in Poland that affect attitudes toward immigrants. It is important to monitor further changes in this area and the government's response to new challenges.
