The number of attacks on Ukrainians in Poland is growing

This is linked, among other things, to the rhetoric of Polish politicians.

The number of attacks on Ukrainians in Poland is growing. In the first half of 2026, 180 reports of hate crimes against Ukrainian citizens were recorded — this is 30% more than in the same period last year (for comparison: 267 reports for the entire year 2024 and 275 for the entire year 2025). If the pace continues, their number could reach 360 by the end of the year, writes Rzeczpospolita.

Sociologist Jacek Kucharczyk speaks of an "effect of impunity" amid the rhetoric of some Polish politicians and Russian disinformation.

The Union of Ukrainians in Poland notes in its report that outbreaks of anti-Ukrainian sentiment are cyclical and tied to political events — the presidential campaign of 2025, and in 2026 — to the scandal surrounding Zelenskyy's decision to name a military unit after UPA (in response, President Nawrocki revoked Zelenskyy's Order of the White Eagle).

According to a July IBRiS poll, 33.6% of Poles have changed their attitude towards Ukrainians for the worse (only 1.8% for the better). More than half of respondents (56%) blame Zelenskyy for the crisis.

    Акрамя ПіСаўскіх палітычных гульняў, мне здаецца, што таксама прыйшоў час задаваць пытаннечкі да сацыяльных сетак, якія ствараюць прыязныя ўмовы для распаўсюду фэйкавых наратываў (фэйкавыя навіны, мімікрыя пад вядомыя сайты, дзясяткі тысяч ботаў, дзіпфэйкі)

    Марк, хто будзе адказным?

    Палякі глядзяць свой польскі тэлевізар і ахвотна вераць усяму, што там гавораць.
    Прыйдзе час, калі хопіць смеласьці - пойдуць вызваляць ісконна польскія гарады Гродна, Львоў, Бжэсьць і Вільню.
    Ніякага саюзу з Польшчай не пабудаваць.

    Лёлік з-пад Лімасола, Зяленскі з барскага пляча нядаўна даручыў адкрыць архівы і больш шырокія даследванні пахаванняў ахвяр украінскіх злачынцаў. Ахвяра фэйкаў, не інакш.
