Poland‑Ukraine memory dispute, PiS split, rising hate

Overview

By mid‑July 2026 the 1943‑44 Volyn massacres remained a flashpoint in Polish‑Ukrainian relations, while public backing for Ukrainian refugees and aid continued to erode and internal tensions within Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party sharpened.

Jarosław Kaczyński’s July 15 resolution ordering all PiS members to quit political NGOs – aimed at Mateusz Morawiecki’s “Rozwój Plus” and Jacek Sasin’s “Po Pierwsze Polska” – set a July 23 deadline. By 16‑19 July about 130 MPs had submitted resignations, yet Morawiecki refused to abandon his association. On 19 July Kaczyński posted an appeal urging members to calm down and avoid public disputes, warning that internal fights give opponents “a reason to be satisfied.” About 45 parliamentary supporters signed a letter backing Morawiecki and calling for dialogue.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s five‑point plan to open SBU and foreign‑intelligence archives and fast‑track new exhumation permits was welcomed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk as a basis for “serious and friendly dialogue.” Archaeological work by the Institute of National Remembrance confirmed a 1943 mass grave at Ostrówki and Wola Ostrowiecka with roughly 1,050 Polish victims; exhumations will continue into early August.

A CBOS poll released on 19 July showed 52 % of Poles now oppose accepting Ukrainian refugees, down from 94 % in 2022, while 52 % still back continued military aid. The shift follows criticism of President Zelensky’s naming of a special‑forces unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

Individual accounts and police data illustrate rising hostility: a Ukrainian newcomer in Warsaw reported increasing nationalist harassment and a brother’s PTSD, and police recorded 180 nationality‑based attacks against Ukrainians in the first half of 2026 – a rise of over 30 % from the previous year. Politicians have exchanged accusations over responsibility, and activists call for stricter enforcement against hate‑motivated offences.
