Most people in Czechia believe Ukrainian refugees have successfully integrated into society, according to a new survey by Kantar CZ for Czech Television. Some 69 percent of respondents said integration is going well, unchanged from April 2023, while 24 percent disagreed. Support for continued military aid to Ukraine stands at 54 percent—higher than in late 2023 but below levels seen at the start of Russia’s invasion in 2022. Fewer Czechs now fear job competition from refugees. Around 398,000 Ukrainians with temporary protection are currently registered in Czechia, which has taken in the highest number per capita in the EU.
