More Poles oppose Ukraine's EU and NATO membership than support it – survey

A recent survey in Poland reveals that more Poles oppose Ukraine’s accession to the EU and NATO than support it.

The survey by IBRiS for Defence24 and the Stand With Ukraine initiative, conducted by IBRiS for the Defence24 portal and the Stand With Ukraine initiative, indicates a shift away from unanimous Polish support for Ukraine’s membership in the EU and NATO.

Only 35% of respondents support Ukraine joining the EU and 37% back NATO membership, while 42% oppose both.

Reasons cited for opposition include concerns over unfair economic competition, corruption in Ukraine, and fears of significant war escalation if Ukraine joins NATO.

The survey also found that 46% of respondents favour reducing or halting military aid to Ukraine.
