Poland’s steadfast support for Ukraine is showing signs of strain as the Russia-Ukraine war enters its fourth year. A recent study by ARC Rynek i Opinia, commissioned by the Mieroszewski Center, reveals a growing shift in Polish public opinion. Disapproval of military aid to Ukraine has risen from 25% to 33%, with younger Poles expressing more negative sentiments.
Once a key ally, Poland has provided significant military and humanitarian aid since the conflict began. However, the study, which surveyed 1,012 Poles aged 18 to 65, indicates a decline in enthusiasm. Support for military assistance has dropped from 55% to 49%, reflecting war fatigue and economic concerns.
This shift could impact Poland’s role in the region and its relationship with Ukraine. As public sentiment cools, Warsaw may face pressure to reassess its aid policies. The findings highlight the challenges of sustaining long-term support for Ukraine amid evolving geopolitical dynamics.
