I love the smell of clickbaity polls in the morning
I am sure that amount of Poles who considers Poland friendly country for Poles also reduced this month.
Russian influences are working. Are they the only ones to blame? Surely not, but they’re actively trying to divide us, at every chance they get, since the beginning.
I fucking hate them.
Comments about “ungrateful Ukrainians” are coming in 3… 2… 1…
Okay, all joking aside. This is just a logical outcome after everything that has happened over the past few months on the Polish-Ukrainian border. The Poles can defend their poor farmers with John Deere tractors all they want, but it’s not their country at war, and Ukrainians are more concerned about the goods purchased by soldiers and volunteers arriving on time, not a week or two later. Reading their tweets about their goods being stuck at the border when they are needed on the front line is infuriating for many. A lot of military and medical goods bought somewhere in EU stores are needed yesterday, not in a week or two, because some “farmers” pretend to be border guards and know better who can and cannot cross the border.
I have no problems with the average Pole, I still think they are cool guys. Many Polish volunteers are saving the lives of Ukrainians and fighting in the Ukrainian armed forces. I have problems with this situation on the border, where openly pro-Russian people like Rafal Mekler and Petr Panasiuk are in charge, and the position of the Polish authorities in this regard.
Similarly, I have no problems with the average Hungarian, although I believe that the Hungarian government is a bunch of scum.
What a surprise: polish politics are trying to squeeze their rating out of rightists, by showing off their “mighty strength” and act like degens, so it’s pretty obvious.

Then go somewhere else where you’ll get free housing and food.
As a pole myself, I guess 1% of poles consider poland as a friendly country.
Some interesting trends from the most recent survey:
1. A record number of Ukrainians view Germany as friendly (80%). Only 50% of Ukrainians viewed Germany as friendly prior to the war.
2. The percentage of Ukrainians who view Poland as “unequivocally friendly” has dropped from 79% to just 33% compared to the last survey.
3. The percentage of Ukrainians who view the US as “unequivocally friendly” has dropped from 61% to just 35% compared to the last survey.
4. The UK and Lithuania are constantly the friendliest countries in this survey since the start of the full-scale war.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
Oh no
I think that’s not limited to Poland. In general, many people are losing hope that the West is actually willing to support Ukraine long-term. There are a lot of narratives that the West just exploits Ukrainians to weaken Russia and that Ukraine is undersupplied on purpose so that it can consistently suffer sizable losses to keep Russia engaged. And that at the end of it all when Ukraine will not be able to defend with the minimal support provided, it will be thrown under the bus, with Russia taking the territory and the EU countries taking the people to assimilate into their societies.
Curious. Has something happened?
Saved you from manipulative clickbait:
>The share of Ukrainians who perceive Poland as “a friendly country” has decreased from 94% to *79%*
which sounds very high and realistic, even dictators don’t make their approval numbers that high
Also, very interesting to see *Kyiv Independent* manipulate public like this.
Devide and conquer as always.
In this context, love to all Poles from a grateful Ukrainian.
Certainly, many Poles experienced a culture shock after learning about the Ukrainian political class. Anything we want or you are an agent of Putin.
Now there is no more public permission for such politics as at the beginning of the war. It’s just that the other side doesn’t understand it. Sad to have to use Soviet methods and rhetoric
79% isn’t bad anyway, it will be even worse and it had to happen. Ukraine and Poland have many conflicting interests and war won’t end any time soon so people won’t wait
pretty ungrateful, tbh.
Isn’t also about fair competition? Ukrainian products don’t need to follow same regulations and standards as the same one produced in EU… Thus quality and price are different.
Who cares, Jesus
They hold no political power, they’re angry because they’re about to lose their livelihood
Russian propaganda working overtime to create enemies of allies.
The new Polish government is significantly more pro-European and pro-Ukrainian, but the clashes on the border are damaging the view.
A small drop
But Russia will target this toward anyone in Poland to make sure they see it.
And I have to be honest, I’m not pleased with everything Zelensky has done. He doesnt fully understand Western politics like he may think he does. Its super complex and fragile.
War fatigue is real. It’s not the first time it has happened and won’t be last. I feel bad for Ukrainians because I truly don’t see them getting their entire territory back, especially Crimea. It’s been 10 years…
Fewer Poles consider Ukrainians friendly people than last year as well… For a reason.
Wow russian bots working overtime and getting better. I’m sure there using the farmers as well
Im sorry for our farmers they are literally taking billions from EU and they protest. Its ridiculous 😆 they are also infiltrated by russian agents such as panasiuk – one of the few Putin supporters on a Twitter mainstream
What irks me is that I open Wyborcza from time to time, and border blockades are barely. even. covered. Like, it is almost the number 1 topic here in Ukraine for half a year, so I’d imagine Polish media would care a bit more.
well, half a year of sabotaging deliveries for the frontline while international aid went down can do things
Anyone who have some grap on recent history between these countries knows that Poland and Ukraine have no basis for friendly relationship.
That’s why Polish help in 2022 is significant.
In short, basis of Ukrainian nationalism developed in western-Ukraine with bandera on its head and because of proximity this nationalism was anti-Polish. And this nationalism led to hundred of thousands dead civilians in ethnic cleansing during ww2.
Some people need to understand that supporting Ukraine doesn’t mean other countries need to do everything keeping Ukrainian interests in mind and putting aside their own.
Them thinking that Poland is unfriendly because its putting its own citizens first just says that Poland is not wrong in the thought process
*“Ukraine is behaving like a drowning person clinging to anything available,” Duda told Polish journalists, the Financial Times reported. “A drowning person is extremely dangerous, capable of pulling you down to the depths … simply drown the rescuer.”*
What a nonsensical click-bait title.
There is no such a thing as a ‘friendly country’; Poland and Ukraine just happen to have the same military interests but they have had and always will have completely different economic interests.
What Ukrainian did do we Poles could consider it a friendly country? Built a museum for Roman Shukhevych?
Understandable. Reciprocated. Help will continue, but on the terms of the ones providing it – not on a “we must get whatever we want and however long we want” basis.
Too bad!
🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦❤️
You’d think Ukrainians would have gotten the drill and sent what little grain isn’t exported via the Black sea (as well as private military and humanitarian aid) through Romania. Yeah, it’d be more expensive but at least there the protesters weren’t as retarded as to buy into populist talking points.

What does it matter?
Most people generally are not friendly, per se.
