How do Poles feel about Ukrainians now?

Polish attitudes toward Ukrainian refugees have evolved over time. Initially, support and empathy were dominant. Now, the number of people with a negative opinion has risen to 22%. About 38% of Poles remain neutral toward refugees. The highest level of negative opinions is among those aged 25-34. Older generations show greater acceptance. The main reasons for this shift are economic and social concerns. Some worry about the job market and social benefits. Others believe aid should be limited. Still, many Poles continue to support refugees. Studies suggest that attitudes may keep changing.
