Summary/Abstract: In various empirical studies, it can be observed that the young generation often has different views on social and political issues compared to other age groups. These views are an important research problem as they influence politics to some extent. The aim of this article is to analyse the political views of Polish university students towards the conflict in Ukraine, taking into account attitudes towards refugees from that country. In the context of the war in Ukraine and the outlined research problem, two hypotheses were tested: H1. The structure of opinions on accepting refugees from Ukraine and helping the country is different from the trends observed in other studies; H2. The dominant opinions in the surveyed group correspond to the support for electoral committees in the elections to the European Parliament and the Sejm and Senate of the Republic of Poland. The survey conducted on a nationwide group of 494 students partially confirmed hypothesis H1 and H2.
