Wjazd i pobyt Ukraińców w Unii Europejskiej w obliczu konfliktu zbrojnego od lutego 2022 roku – aspekty prawne ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem przypadku Polski

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present international law regulations (including EU laws) on Ukrainians’ entry to and stay in Poland in the face of the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine on 20 February 2022. The analysis covers acts of international law, with a particular focus on acts of EU law which are relevant to Ukraine’s situation today and its consequences for Poland. De lege lata and de lege ferenda conclusions are drawn that will ensure even more effective protection of persons who flee the armed conflict currently going on in Ukraine and who seek protection in Poland. The methodology applied in the research coverds two basic methods typical to law studies - an analysis of the law in force and legal comparison, also aided by the statistical method.
