The Development of Ukrainian-Polish Relations since the Beginning of the Russian Full-Scale Invasion

Abstract

Despite disputes on economic grounds that have triggered a huge zigzag in relations between Poland and Ukraine over the last two years, security issues primarily define these relations today. A dense network of bilateral and people-to-people contacts stabilizes them and the shared fundamental interest in defeating Russia and Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO is mutual and dominant. The two countries are entering the third year of the war with a clean slate and a common goal of resisting Russian aggression.
