On my 3-hour break today, I went to Auchan to replenish my supply of frozen strawberries, blueberries, sesame seeds, and dates for smoothies. Total cost was $9.95.
The sun was out for a little while before being drowned by gray skies. It was a normal Polish winter day.
Meanwhile, in Poland.
The proportion of Poles opposed to accepting Ukrainian refugees has risen to 46%, the highest level ever recorded in regular polling by state research agency CBOS.
In the years 2015 to 2018, around 55-60% of Poles were consistently in favour, with around 30-40% opposed. The surveys then resumed in March 2022, after Russia’s full-scale invasion. At that time, a record 94% supported accepting refugees, with only 3% opposed.
Since then, however, support has been gradually falling and opposition rising.
The latest EU data show that there are around 965,000 Ukrainian refugees still in Poland.
