As of June 2025, around 1.5 million Ukrainians live in Poland — including over 900,000 under temporary protection and more than 700,000 officially employed.
The recent presidential veto could significantly affect Ukrainian refugees in Poland including stay-at-home mothers, the elderly, and even Ukrainians working remotely. It also restricts access to medical care for refugees and seriously ill patients from Ukraine. Additionally, it may lead to the end of funding for Ukraine’s Starlink satellite internet.
Let’s unpack what’s happening in Poland.
Ironic when you know there are more people from polish descent across the world than polish people…
I thought Poland was one of Ukraine’s strongest supporters?
Anyone want to fill me in on what changed and why?
As a Brit, it’s funny seeing the Polish complain about immigrants from another country, they should know better.
What a dickhead.
Global far right about to burn the world for 15 minutes of domination
“We did it! We cut support to Ukraine! …how did Russia get on our border?”
If they take the money saved and invest in Ukrainian defense ultimately this could be a good thing. Fighting a cause not effect. But yeah unlikely to happen
Refugees are not only working people, there are elderly, people with disabilities, kids, single moms and other vulnerable categories.
Does Poland take refugees to help people lost home and fleeing war, or trying to accept only (cheap) labor?
Apparently, history is not taught in Polish schools. Or not properly anyway. Bandera/Volyn are pepper flakes in the bloody ruzzian soup of atrocities committed by ruzzians in Poland’s.
The Poles truly voted in their own undoing this guy is basically inviting to be rolled over again (by Russia again).
Trump light,oh, how great, not…
When will people realize that the xenophobia propaganda has one purpose and really only one:
To D E V I D E people, D E V I D E the EU and slowly take the countries over.
Judging by all the comments here. russian attampts to drive a wedge between our nations are proving successful
Pole here. The majority of us love and welcome Ukrainians (and others into Poland), and while I cannot argue with this post, it only feeds the ruzzian agenda. Stay strong. Slava Ukraini!
I did not vote for Nawrocki. Another PiS puppet posing as „independent candidate” bullshit.
Seems poland reeally misses the good ol days of 1939, and everything for another 50 years
The migrant crisis is the real reason why, look at the statistics of Poland Vs the EU. Poor Muslims don’t go to rich Muslim countries to live there, they come to naive Europe.

Russian propaganda thrives on division—especially between nations that stand strong together. Unfortunately, it works and some political parties and our newly elected ‘opportunistic’ president think its good way to get votes. Here is the question my friends. How do we fight back and don’t let Kremlin trolls rewrite our story?
Polish self-sabotage is something to be studied.
Typical Poland, one step forward, two steps backwards.
Absolutely shameful.
🇺🇦 !
I know a few poles that hate Ukraine and their immigrants, while living in other countries as immigrants themselves lol. Generally older generation though. Not sure what younger sentiment is
There’s always some nationalist arsehole on the fringes looking to vacuum up single issue voters on the periphery.
Poland becoming anti-ukraine and tring to delay them joining the EU would be negatively surprising all you gotta do is look at net contributions to the EU to find out why.
The EU is somehow a hellhole organisation and Poland should ignore all the EU’s rules whilst taking billions a year lmao
I would check his swiss banking accounts.
unreal.
There’s enough unwitting Poles who Russia easily appropriated the use of.
Very clever geopolitical play by Russia. Just fund populist xenophobic right wing parties and military strength doesn’t matter.
Same in every Western democracy, and we’re screwed by masterful geopolitics. Hats off to them.
What will these Ukrainians do? Can they go back to Ukraine?
And why is noone blaming the cause of the problem, Russia?
Fucking russian propaganda at it again. Russians are a disease to this planet. Even for those who could care less about the war, these kinds of things are happening everywhere and are a real serious threat to every nation.
The Russians are in the background, plucking the strings of European discord.
I got slammed months ago for daring to suggest that perhaps Poland acquiring Europe largest continent of tanks and its mind boggling push in military spending should NOT be a solo endeavour precisely due to the fact that individual countries that are EU/NATO friendly one day may well swing the other way the next when political winds shift.
Well shit.
Ukraine is a large country, and let’s be honest with a lot of corruption. I can understand feeling threatened when you share a border.
But there is a wide gap between patriotism, and fascism in support of russia.
How about the rest of EU grows a backbone? Greens have been destroying Europe for years now and none cares. Toughen up or get toughened up EU.
History has been forgotten by these morons.
I’m sorry but does Poland realize that they are simply lucky Russia hasn’t invaded them? And it still might, considering that Ukraine may run out of people to defend it if Europe doesn’t help? Poland narrowly avoided having Russian soldiers at its borders, and barely avoided them advancing further.

What changed since 100+ years ago? Yeah, nothing.
