A sharp increase in hate crimes against Ukrainians in Poland has been reported, with a 30% rise in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. Over 80% of these cases involved Ukrainians. This escalation coincides with a decline in positive attitudes towards Ukrainians among Poles, from 51% in 2023 to 29% in January 2026, according to CBOS polls. Historical disputes and social benefits for Ukrainians are cited as main reasons for the deterioration in relations. Right-wing politicians are exploiting these sentiments ahead of the 2027 elections.
