Granting of refugee status

Persons who left Ukraine after 24 February 2022 could have applied for refugee status under the Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 28 July 1951 and the New York Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees of 31 January 1967.1 The principles and procedure governing the granting of international protection are regulated in Poland in the Act of 13 June 2003 on granting protection to foreigners within the territory of the Republic of Poland (further Act on granting protection to foreigners).2 In 2022 almost 5,000 foreigners met the conditions for being granted international protection. They were mainly citizens of the following countries: Belarus – 3,600 persons, Ukraine – 1,000 persons and Russia – 100 persons (Urząd ds. Cudzoziemców, 2023). In 2023, 4,600 foreigners met the conditions for granting international protection. They were mainly citizens of: Belarus – 2,900 persons, Ukraine – 1,100 persons, Russia – 200 persons (Urząd ds. Cudzoziemców, 2024b). According to data available at the end of September 2024, 4,800 foreigners were granted refugee status. They were mainly citizens of Ukraine – 2,300 persons, Belarus – 2,100 persons and Russia – 150 persons (Urząd ds. Cudzoziemców, 2025).

This volume examines the multifaceted consequences of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with a focus on Hungary and Poland. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of legal, social, and political responses to the war, highlighting the refugee crisis, resource challenges, and security implications. Divided into two parts, the book first addresses the unprecedented displacement caused by the war, analysing refugee protection frameworks, humanitarian assistance, and legal solutions in Hungary and Poland, alongside the specific needs of vulnerable groups. The second part expands the scope to consider broader impacts, including technological and cultural dimensions, energy security, and public discourse in the region. By bringing together contributions from Polish and Hungarian scholars, this volume provides a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the far-reaching effects of the war, offering critical insights into the legal and socio-political transformations shaping Central and Eastern Europe.
