  "summary": "A recent study by the Operative Sociology organization reveals that nearly 20% of Ukrainians perceive the current Ukrainian-Polish relations as either friendly or hostile. The survey, conducted between July 10 and July 18, 2026, found that 18.6% of respondents view the relations as friendly, while 19.5% consider them hostile. The results are further broken down, showing that 2.4% describe relations as entirely friendly, 16.2% as predominantly friendly, 57.6% as somewhat friendly and somewhat hostile, 15.5% as predominantly hostile, and 4% as entirely hostile. When asked about their opinion on Polish head of state Józef Piłsudski, 8.7% of Ukrainians held a completely negative view, 9% a mostly negative view, 12% a mixed view, 7.5% a mostly positive view, and 3.7% a completely positive view. Notably, 52.3% of respondents did not know who Piłsudski was, highlighting a potential gap in historical knowledge among the Ukrainian population. The study was commissioned by the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory and included a sample of 2,007 respondents from across Ukraine, with a maximum margin of error of 2.2% at a 95% confidence level.",
