Summary/Abstract: The presented paper tries to find the common places of both the Polish path of accession to NATO, chich finalny took place in March 1999. and the still unfinished path of Ukraine, which, in a more dramatic way, has been trying to find it sown path to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for another decade. This process and optimistic perspective certainly accelerated after the attack of Vladimir Putin's regime on Ukraine in February 2022. and the heroic defense of theirhomeland by Ukrainians. The Polish experience of accession to NATO, initially quite similar to the opportunities available to the Young Ukrainian state, may be useful to Ukrainian politicians in some aspects. Therefore, Poland can be considered the most accurate and credible advocate of Ukraine's presence in the lar gest defense alliance of democratic states, chich already took place at the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008.
