Warning signals from Poland: Gazeta Wyborcza reported a rise in hostility towards Ukrainians.
Ukrainian refugees in Poland face manifestations of hostility
According to a report from 'BBC', Ukrainian refugees in Poland are increasingly describing their lives as 'terrible' due to rising xenophobia and verbal attacks. Sociological data confirms these observations - 38% of Poles have negative feelings towards Ukrainians, while only 30% express positive feelings.
Growth of xenophobia and anti-Ukrainian misinformation
Experts have recorded a rise in anti-Ukrainian comments on the Polish internet - over 327 thousand such statements last year. The number of citizens who believe that Ukraine is not sufficiently grateful for the assistance provided reaches 62%, although Ukrainians actively support the Polish budget and economy.
The situation is worsened by the use of xenophobia by politicians in the presidential election campaign. The coincidence of rising hostility with political activity indicates that anti-Ukrainian rhetoric may be used as a political tool.
