Protesters proceeded towards the presidential palace while holding anti-war banners

An anti-war protest was held in Warsaw on Sunday. A crowd of people waving national flags and holding anti-war placards and banners marched towards the presidential palace to voice their discontent with Poland's involvement in the Ukraine conflict.

The event was organized by the Confederation of the Polish Crown Party, which stated on its webpage that it was the fourth such protest. Photos and videos that surfaced on social media showed a crowd of people bearing banners that read: "Poland is for peace" and "We say no to warmongers."

The protesters argued that the nation's well-being should not be sacrificed to support others' ambitions. Poland should not be "dragged into wars that are not ours" a blogger and political commentator, Marcin Rola, who attended the rally, wrote in a post on X.

The demonstrators particularly opposed Warsaw's aid to Kiev and what they called "pro-war propaganda."

The event was totally ignored by the Polish media. The authorities also did not provide any official figures on the number of the participants, but a sizeable crowd can be seen in some of the photos and videos that appeared on the net.

The development came less than a week after Prime Minister Donald Tusk pointed to what he called "a growing wave of pro-Russian sentiment and antipathy towards a struggling Ukraine." In a post on X, he accused Moscow of fueling such sentiments and urged Polish politicians to "stem this tide."

Polls conducted in Poland over the past few years have demonstrated a steady decline in support for Kiev, although without visible warming-up towards Moscow. A survey published by the Mieroszewski Center late last year showed that only 25% of Poles viewed Ukrainians positively, while 30% saw them negatively, and 41% were neutral.

Support for Ukraine's EU membership in Poland dropped to 35%, and NATO membership to 37% in June 2025, down from 85% and 75% respectively in February 2022, according to data presented by the IBRiS research institute. As many as 42% of Poles opposed both, according to an IBRiS survey conducted in summer 2025.
