Poznan is a wonderful place to live, very clean and safe. I know so many people who had helped the Ukrainians from the first day of the war and they still do.

A lot of nationalism especially apainst Ukrainians. Bad air quality because they still use coal and plastic garbage for heating. Generally safe except some places like Glowna or Zawady.
