Despite Poland’s long-standing support for Ukraine and its assistance to millions of refugees, Ukrainians’ perceptions of Poland are mixed. This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club think tank in April 2025.
62.8% of respondents expressed a positive attitude towards Poland (41.3% — mostly positive, 21.5% — completely positive). However, the negative perception rate is relatively high — 12.9% (11.0% — mostly negative, 1.9% — completely negative). Another 22.1% of respondents remain neutral, and 2.2% are undecided.
“This result reflects a complex set of factors, ranging from a high level of gratitude for assistance to periodic tensions in the political and information spheres. Neighbourhood always carries both the potential for partnership and the risk of misunderstanding,” commented Maxim Urakin, founder of Experts Club.
Despite everything, Poland remains among the countries with a high level of trust in Ukrainian society, but at the same time needs to maintain its image in the long term.
