Refugees, Resources, Security, and Beyond

Legal and Broader Impacts of the War in Ukraine on Hungary and Poland

Ukrainian–Hungarian nationality issues

Hungary provides preferential nationality to Hungarians living outside the borders. This may pose challenges until Ukraine does not acknowledge dual nationality. Consequently, applicants for Hungarian nationality may face the revocation of their Ukrainian nationality. Hungarian naturalisation practice has significantly changed in the wake of the amendment of Act No. LV of 1993 on Hungarian Citizenship, which means that Hungarians living outside the borders have been entitled to preferential naturalisation since 2011. The main purpose of this amendment was to enable Hungarians and their descendants living in territories detached during the 20th century to acquire Hungarian citizenship,1 which also affects Hungarians in Carpathian territories in Ukraine.

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.
