Olha Popovych, editor of the annual Ukrainian Almanac (published by the Association of Ukrainians in Poland), shared her opinions on Espreso TV.“It is unwise to be enchanted by the idea that all Ukrainians who left support Ukraine in this war. Unfortunately, there are examples when Ukrainians, having left Ukraine due to Russian bombings, unfortunately express support not for the Ukrainian authorities and very often also blame Ukraine for this Russian aggression. Therefore, undoubtedly, some will go for ideological reasons (to a concert by a Russian rapper in Poland — ed.), while others will attend it, saying that art is separate from politics and they simply like this performer. This has happened, is happening, and will happen. What the numbers will be, or whether there will be provocations, is unclear. Undoubtedly, Russia works very actively on such events as well, and we saw this at (Belarusian performer Max) Korzh’s concert, to create as many examples as possible that compromise Ukrainians in general in Poland. And any provocation, any scandal involving Ukrainians in Poland, plays into Russia’s hands. And therefore very often Ukrainians simply become tools in the hands of Russia’s information war — against the West in general, against Ukraine, and also against Poland in particular,” she said.At the same time, Olha Popovych noted that anti-Ukrainian sentiment is growing in Poland, according to surveys, particularly among those who support the government.She emphasized, however, that the positions of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski remain unchanged — they support Ukraine.“In Poland, anti-Ukrainian sentiment is growing. Overall, the trend is such that politicians are not afraid now, or rather, I would even say they feel quite confident when they talk about Ukraine losing this war, about whether Poland should think about the funds it invests in Ukraine, whether it is even worth doing so, and so on. In principle, the latest surveys conducted in Poland, and very often different publications order various social surveys regarding how Poles support Ukrainians or believe in victory, for example. And one of these surveys, which recently appeared — of course, this is not a nationwide survey and has its own nuances, but nevertheless it is alarming — asked whether Poles believe in Ukraine’s victory. In previous years we saw fairly positive dynamics for Ukraine, but now we see a picture where the majority of Poles do not believe in Ukraine’s victory. And what is worrying is that, if you look at the political composition of the respondents — that is, whom they support in Polish politics — belief in victory is higher among those who currently support the government,” she added.
