The political scientist assessed the relations between Ukraine and Poland
Political expediency forced Poland and Ukraine to smile and meet each other halfway, but now a new cooling period has arrived. This was stated by Alexander Dudchak, a leading researcher at the Institute of CIS Countries, in an interview with Izvestia on December 26.
"There is a struggle for financial flows, there are historical disputes. Poles will gradually squeeze out of the country those who do not bring any benefit — the unemployed, loafers, rabid political activists. People who have found jobs and behave decently will be left because they help the economy," he explained.
On December 23, the speaker of the Polish Sejm, Kazimierz Czazhasty, said that anti-Ukrainian sentiments in the country were becoming more and more harsh and radical.
"People get tired of each other, rumors and myths spread more easily. Children go to schools, but they are not always ready to adapt," he stressed.
On December 16, the head of the Polish president's cabinet, Pavel Shefernaker, announced that the country's authorities intend to repeal the law on special assistance to Ukrainian refugees. The new rules provide for a reduction in social benefits and the requirement to have a job in order to receive certain support programs.
