A million Ukrainian refugees are still in Poland. Now presidential candidates vow to put Poles first

Poland is hosting nearly a million Ukrainian refugees as it approaches its presidential election on May 18, 2025.
Growing fatigue over supporting Ukrainians after Russia's 2022 invasion has led some candidates to promise prioritizing Polish citizens.
Andrzej Nawrocki seeks to succeed President Duda by pledging legislation to prioritize Poles for medical services and schools over Ukrainians.
Nawrocki said in January the society 'behaves in an indecent and ungrateful way,' blaming Ukrainians for overburdened schools and inflated housing.
This tension contrasts with continued stable support for Ukraine and rejection by officials like Ambassador Vasyl Bodnar who say Ukrainians help Poland’s economy.
