Poland Has Sharply Changed Its Attitude Towards Ukrainians: What is the Reason.

Changes have occurred in Poland's attitude towards Ukrainians. According to the 'Polish Labor Market Barometer' research, the number of Poles who view Ukrainians negatively exceeds those who have a positive attitude. Only 23% of Poles express positive feelings towards Ukrainian workers, which is significantly less than last year. The proportion of negatively inclined Poles has risen to 24%, while neutral attitudes have increased to 48%.Ukrainians are also showing changes in their attitude towards Poland. The majority (64%) still have a positive view of the country, but this figure has decreased by 6% compared to the previous study. The share of Ukrainians with a neutral attitude is growing - nearly 33%.

Interestingly, there is a noticeable gender difference among Ukrainians: women are more likely to evaluate Poland positively (69%) than men (56%). This may be related to the support women received in the early months of the war.

'After two years, gradual changes in relations between Poles and Ukrainians can be seen. The initial wave of solidarity is giving way to everyday challenges - both in social and economic spheres,' emphasized the founder of Personnel Service, Krzysztof Inglot.
