Poland’s answer to Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion

With the official announcement of the unexpected outbreak of war in Ukraine, Poland reacted to the situation with an unprecedented speed and magnitude of support and solidarity. Poland adopted a special law regulating the principles applicable to Ukrainian citizens in connection with an armed conflict in the territory of their country on 12 March 2022. The law has retroactive effect from 24 February 2022, which means that all those who escaped the war in Ukraine before the law was passed can benefit from its provisions. – Karolina Schiffter and Martyna Krawczyk comment for International Bar Association.
