At least 2.5 million Ukrainians live in Poland , comprising almost 7% of the total population of Poland .

Poland spends 4.2% of its GDP on Ukrainian refugees.

At least 50% of Poles are in favour of accepting Ukrainian refugees, a fall of 7% in four months .

Poland 's presidential election campaign has added to the tension.

Michal Marek , who runs an NGO that monitors disinformation and propaganda in Poland , offers some examples of anti-Ukraine material being circulated on social media.

He says the main narratives are that Ukrainians are stealing money from the Polish budget, that Ukrainians do not respect us, that they want to rob and kill us and are responsible for the war.
