The data indicate a slight majority in favour of providing aid, amidst a marked polarisation of public opinion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>52.2% of respondents supported the continuation of military aid to Ukraine.<\/li>\n<li>45.2% of those surveyed opposed such support.<\/li>\n<li>There are slightly more staunch opponents than staunch supporters.<\/li>\n<li>Among voters for the governing coalition, support stands at over 86%.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of 2022, 77.5% Poles were supporting aid to Ukraine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The gap between the positions is minimal<\/h2>\n<p>22.6% per cent of respondents came out in favour of continuing military support for Ukraine, having answered \u00abyes\u00bb unequivocally, along with a further proportion who were more inclined to support such a decision. 23.7% of those surveyed were firmly against it \u2014 slightly more than the number of staunch supporters of the aid.<\/p>\n<p>The overall difference between supporters and opponents stands at 7 percentage points. This suggests not a broad public consensus, but rather a clear polarisation regarding continued military support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h2>The views of voters from different parties<\/h2>\n<p>The strongest support for the continuation of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/polshcha-vijskova-dopomoha-ukraini-2026\/\">military aid<\/a> \u2014 over 86% \u2014 were recorded among voters for the parties in the ruling coalition. At the same time, those opposed to the aid outnumber supporters of the opposition parties \u00abLaw and Justice\u00bb and \u00abConfederation\u00bb, as well as non-voters.<\/p>\n<p>By way of comparison, at the end of 2022, 77.5% of Poles were in favour of military support for Ukraine. The current poll shows a significantly lower level of support, although those in favour of continuing it still make up the majority.<\/p>\n<h2>The controversy surrounding Charneck\u2019s statement<\/h2>\n<p>This week, a PiS politician <strong>Przemys\u0142aw Czarnik<\/strong> stated that Poland should press the EU to stop funding arms for Ukraine and its reconstruction, linking this to demands for concessions on historical issues.<\/p>\n<p>PiS leader <strong>Yaroslav Kaczy\u0144ski<\/strong> publicly distanced himself from this proposal. He described military aid to Ukraine, particularly via the European Union, as absolutely essential for Poland\u2019s national interests and security, and stated that the party leadership would consider \u010carnek\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Foreign Affairs <strong>Radoslav Sikorsky<\/strong> He also criticised Charnec. He had previously stated that Ukraine\u2019s effective containment of Russian forces prevents Moscow from invading the western country. This reflects the Polish government\u2019s security rationale for continuing to support Kyiv.<\/p>\n<h2>Aid to Ukraine has become a domestic political issue<\/h2>\n<p>The debate in Poland is not limited to bilateral support. The Council of the EU agreed in April to <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/economics\/yevropeyska-dopomoha-ukrayini-khtho-skilky-na-shcho\/\">a loan to Ukraine of 90 billion euros<\/a> for 2026\u20132027: an estimated 60 billion euros has been earmarked for defence needs and the development of the defence industry, with a further 30 billion for macro-financial support. As at the end of June, 7.1 billion euros had been disbursed.<\/p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, the call to halt funding for arms and reconstruction has a practical political dimension. At the same time, Kaczy\u0144ski\u2019s stance shows that Czarneck\u2019s proposal has not become the official line of PiS.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 86% voters from the Polish ruling coalition support military aid to Ukraine, according to IBRiS data.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":207433355,"featured_media":24842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041f\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0434 86% \u0432\u0438\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0446\u0456\u0432 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0447\u043e\u0457 \u043a\u043e\u0430\u043b\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0443 \u0434\u043e\u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0433\u0443 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456, \u0441\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0447\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0434\u0430\u043d\u0456 IBRiS.","rank_math_title":"52% \u043f\u043e\u043b\u044f\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0434\u043e\u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0433\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0434\u043e\u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0433\u0438","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619],"tags":[806753,805624],"class_list":["post-24839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","tag-806753","tag-805624"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24839"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24844,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24839\/revisions\/24844"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
