Monika Olejnik criticizes rising anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Poland

Journalist Monika Olejnik has expressed strong condemnation regarding the rising anti-Ukrainian sentiments in Poland. She noted a significant shift from the initial humanitarian solidarity shown at the start of the war to a growing atmosphere of hostility and hate speech.

Olejnik attributed this change in public mood to politicians from both the government and the opposition, accusing them of cynically exploiting these tensions to attract voters. She described the situation as “disgusting” and “painful,” calling for public protests against hate and violence directed at Ukrainian refugees, including children.
