The United Surveys by IBRiS survey for Virtual Poland of 7-9 August 2026 shows that 74.1% of Poles support the sending of inactive and educational citizens to Ukraine. Against is 22.7 percent and 3.2 percent have no opinion. The proposal is simple: the aid does not abolish the right to control.
Control side survey
New study United Surveys by IBRiS for Virtual Poland shows a clear majority on the side of sending citizens of this country to Ukraine who do not work or learn in Poland. The consequence "yes definitely" indicated 48.5% of respondents and a 25.6% more. This gives a full of 74.1 percent support.
Against 22.7 percent of respondents: 14.3 percent replied "not so", and 8.4 percent "not so". Only 3.2% chose the option "I don't know/hard to say". The survey was conducted on 7-9 August 2026 by the CAWI/CATI method on a example of 1000 people. The estimation mistake is 3% at the assurance threshold of 0.95.
This is not a statistical mistake limit. That's a strong social signal. Poles realize that solidarity with the invaded Ukraine does not mean giving up order in their own country. Hospitality cannot be confused with an indefinite suspension of rules.
PIS postulate and wider question
The direct background of the poll was the announcement of Tobias Bocheński. The Euro MP and Vice-President of the Law and Justice organization spoke during the party's program convention that after a possible return to power, 1 of the first decisions would be to deport Ukrainian men of draft age who do not work legally in Poland.
However, the difference should be clearly noted. The political postulate of the PiS afraid men of draft age without legal work. The Virtual Poland poll question covered more professionally and educationally inactive Ukrainian citizens. It doesn't invalidate the result, it organizes the debate. An honest conversation about safety and costs must begin with the exact wording of the question.
Support goes beyond 1 electorate
The highest support for the return of inactive Ukrainians was noted among voters of both Confederations. 92 percent of this group voted for this solution, including 72 percent definitely. In the electorate of the opposition as a whole, included by the ND as PiS, both Confederates and Together, the support was 85 percent.
But something else is important. Even among the voters of the ruling camp supporters of return have the advantage: 52 percent are in favour, 41 percent against, 7 percent have no opinion. This shows that the subject goes beyond a organization dispute. Poles may disagree in the assessment of the government, the Law and Justice or the Confederation, but they increasingly agree on 1 thing: the state should check who benefits from its protection, work, schools, wellness strategy and benefits.
The discussion doesn't come out of nowhere. We've already written that deportations from Poland are growing, and Ukrainians are in these statistic the largest group according to data cited by the Ministry of abroad Affairs. Europe is besides under force to change its rules, as illustrated by German conservation regulation ideas for Ukrainians. Poland is dead in vacuum.
National interest requires rules
In this case, 2 false languages must be rejected. The first is to consider all control as a deficiency of heart. The second turns the real problem into contempt for people. Both are harmful. Poland has the right to require legal work, science, transparency of stay and loyalty to public order. At the same time, a man who escapes war does not lose his dignity.
National realism is that the state helps where aid is needed, but does not let extraordinary solutions to become a permanent strategy without control. Polish families finance schools, treatment, administration and security. They have the right to anticipate the rules to be clear and the burdens to be reasonably distributed.
The government can't pretend there's no subject
The 74.1% score is simply a informing to the rulers. If political elites treat citizens' concerns as troublesome noise, they will turn the subject over to the radicals or propaganda of Moscow. A sensible policy is based on something else: an efficient country, hard procedures, border protection and clear information for the public.
Poles do not turn distant from Ukraine fighting Russia. However, they are increasingly demanding that Poland stay a host in its own home. That's the difference. And a country that does not realize this difference is itself producing a crisis of confidence.
