Ukrainian public opinion toward Belarusians shifts positive in one year

A survey shows a significant reversal in Ukrainian attitudes toward Belarusians, with positive sentiment rising from 35.6% to 44.5% and negative sentiment falling from 49.7% to 36.1% between 2025 and 2026. The shift is attributed by the source to actions of Ukrainian authorities rather than Belarusian political figures. This reflects a notable change in public perception, potentially influenced by policy or media framing, but the underlying causes remain uncertain.
