The Polish government plans to limit the "800+" program for Ukrainian refugees who do not work or pay taxes. The program provides 800 PLN per month for each child under 18. The decision aims to direct aid to those contributing to the economy. Prime Minister Donald Tusk and other politicians support this change. The new rules could affect thousands of Ukrainian families. The benefit was meant to support refugee integration, but cost concerns arose. The government stresses the need for savings and fair distribution. Critics warn that limiting the program may worsen conditions for many families. Some fear this change could increase social tensions. The decision has sparked public debate in Poland.

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.
