The poll found that 27.7% of respondents “definitely” oppose Ukraine’s accession without first concluding exhumation efforts, while 22.5% “rather” oppose such membership. Supporters of these conditions were mainly opposition voters, including many who watch the conservative TV Republika channel, Rzeczpospolita reported.

Meanwhile, 20.4% of respondents “rather” agree Ukraine should be accepted into NATO and the EU regardless of the exhumation process, and 14.4% “definitely” support Ukraine’s membership. Another 15% of those polled said they were unsure.
