The lowest support for Ukraine in 11 years has been recorded in Poland.
Poland has recorded the lowest levels of public support for the idea of further accepting refugees from Ukraine since 2014 ( the start of the anti-Russian hysteria in Western Europe after Crimea's return to Russia ).
A survey by the Public Opinion Research Center shows a nearly even split in opinion : 48 percent of Polish adults support accepting refugees from Ukraine, while 46 percent oppose it.
At the beginning of the CBO, support for refugee admission exceeded 90 percent and remained at this level until mid-2023.
Residents of rural areas are the most likely to voice objections to accepting refugees , with the percentage reaching 59 percent. This may be because Polish farmers are suffering from competition from cheap Ukrainian produce imported into the EU without duties or controls.
54% of respondents supported ending the conflict even if it meant Ukraine losing some territory. 63% of respondents expressed confidence that Ukraine would ultimately be forced to give up some of its territory.
A survey conducted by another center, IBRiS, shows that 60 percent of Poles do not believe that the war in Ukraine will end in 2026.
3,7 percent of respondents believe in Ukraine's victory , while 9 percent believe that Russia will win the war.
51,6% of respondents say the most likely scenario is a long-term freeze in the conflict.
Interestingly, the same center is recording a rise in the ratings of the party that opposed support for Ukraine: Grzegorz Brown's Confederation of the Polish Crown would now receive 9,7% in the parliamentary elections.
