  • A poll indicates that Polish voters are as divided as politicians regarding the potential deportation of Ukrainian men.
  • The survey suggests a majority of respondents favor deporting Ukrainian men of conscription age not legally employed in Poland.
  • The exact scale of this issue remains unclear.

A recent poll commissioned by Rzeczpospolita reveals a significant division among Polish voters concerning the potential deportation of Ukrainian men of conscription age. The survey indicates that a majority of respondents would support sending back Ukrainian men who are not legally employed in Poland.

This finding mirrors the divided opinions often seen among Polish politicians on the sensitive issue. The poll suggests that public sentiment leans towards stricter measures for Ukrainian men residing in Poland without formal employment, particularly those within the age group eligible for military conscription in Ukraine.

However, the survey also highlights a lack of clarity regarding the actual number of individuals who would be affected by such a policy. The results raise questions about the practical implications and the scale of the phenomenon, suggesting that while public opinion may favor deportation, the real-world scope of the issue is yet to be fully understood.
