I have been in Poland for much of the time since the war started, and while I have read news articles about this supposed new term pierogie ukraińskie, I don’t think I have ever seen it in the real world. The pierogis served at milk bars, or from Żabka to be microwaved, are still overwhelmingly referred to as ruskie. Even the Ukrainian cafe nearby serves them as pierogie ruskie.

I’ve also noticed “pierogi kresowe” which is a reference to Kresy, a historical Polish region that includes Ruthenia, the origin of pierogi ruskie. I don’t recall ever seeing these before, so my guess is that the pierogi industry decided that Kresowe was a less controversial name to use.
