In Poland, compassion for Ukrainians has turned to contempt. The consequences could be dramatic | Mateusz Mazzini

Poland's initial compassion for Ukrainian refugees has shifted to contempt, with many Poles now expressing frustration and resentment towards the large number of Ukrainians who have built new lives in the country. This change in attitude is largely due to the fact that many Ukrainians have not returned home as expected, and instead have become an integral part of Polish society. The consequences of this shift in public opinion could be dramatic, potentially affecting Poland's relationships with Ukraine and the European Union.

Why it matters

Poland's changing attitude towards Ukrainian refugees could lead to increased tensions in Europe. This shift in sentiment may impact regional stability and relationships between European countries.
