Poland has been a strong ally to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began. Over the past four years, Poland has provided sanctuary to around one million Ukrainian refugees. However, sentiments among Polish citizens are shifting, with many beginning to distance themselves from these refugees.
The evolving feelings are influenced by historical tensions. Memories of a World War II massacre have started to foster divisions between Polish people and Ukrainians. These deep-rooted cultural memories are stirring unease among the communities.
Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant provides an insightful analysis of the situation. Brabant has served as a special correspondent for PBS Newshour since 2015.
