Summary/Abstract: The attack of the Russian Federation’s troops on Ukraine, which took place on February 24, 2022, led to the outbreak of a war, which caused civilians to flee their homes and leave their country in search of safety, protection and humanitarian aid. In the first week of the war, over a million refugees from Ukraine, mainly women with children and the elderly, crossed Ukraine’s border with its neighbor countries; a large group of the refugees arrived in Poland. Piotr Zalewski’s aim in this article is to review the main legislative and organizational activities undertaken by the Polish government and the local government administration in terms of providing institutional assistance and protection for the refugees. Zalewski also discusses the activities of the uniformed services, which has consisted in identifying risks and threats and ensuring the personal safety of Ukrainian refugees.
