Summary/Abstract: The outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine resulted in the largest population migration after the Second World War. Poland, as a border country, had to respond to the challenges of the sudden influx of war refugees (around 3 million) within 2 months of the start of the war. It also must respond now, more than two and a half years after the outbreak of war, when there are more than 1 million Ukrainians on Polish territory. The article presents the legal solutions introduced in response to the war migration. They concern the following areas: simplification related to legalisation of stay, facilitation of taking up employment and access to social benefits. As there are many children among the migrants, the last area concerns access to school education for Ukrainian children.
