According to the publication 'Khvylia', Poland is intensifying its deportation policy regarding Ukrainians, particularly in cases of offenses, despite the situation with the military conflict in Ukraine.



Incident with a Drone in Warsaw


A 21-year-old Ukrainian was sent out of Poland after launching a drone over the presidential residence and government buildings in the capital. The young man violated aviation rules, admitted guilt, and paid a fine of 4,000 zlotys. However, this did not save him from deportation.

After interrogation, the police handed the case to the border guard service, which made the decision to deport him. The Ukrainian was escorted to the border and handed over to Ukrainian authorities. Additionally, he is banned from entering Poland and other Schengen countries for five years. A 17-year-old Belarusian detained with him was questioned as a witness and released.



Incident in Girardów


A 40-year-old Ukrainian was detained in Girardów after breaking a store window. The man explained his actions as a result of a nervous condition, but due to his criminal past and ongoing violations, the police decided to deport him.



Bicycle Theft in Ujeszna


In Ujeszna, a 41-year-old Ukrainian was arrested after several bicycle thefts. The investigation showed that he had previously committed similar crimes in Polish stores, so it was decided to deport him.



Alcohol Theft in Yarotsyn


A 27-year-old Ukrainian woman was detained in Yarotsyn for alcohol theft. The woman regularly committed similar offenses in various areas of the Greater Poland Voivodeship, leading the police and border guard service to decide on her deportation.


In August 2025, Poland deported Ukrainians for various offenses, including violations of public order and criminal activity. After being released from prisons, they were taken to the border and handed over to the Ukrainian side with a ban on entry for 5-10 years.



In various cities in Poland, Ukrainians are facing deportations due to offenses, even in cases where they have acknowledged their guilt and paid fines. Violating the law can lead to serious consequences, including expulsion and a ban on entering the country.
