In our discussions there is sometimes this problem: "in Ukraine", or "in Ukraine". possibly individual thinks that this is simply a linguistic problem, or correction of linguistic grammar - unfortunately, this is simply a political problem.
Historically, the Polish Crown owned lands, or geographical TERENs with different names. These were areas in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, as in Silesia, Podlasie or Mazovia. All these areas belonged to Poland, and there they exercised power under Polish kings or another Polish power. Poles were able to go there as they were to each other, that is, without political restrictions.
Today is simply a different situation. any of these territories have become independent states. To get there, you gotta have political approval. It is easy and easy to enter Lithuania or Latvia due to the fact that it is allowed by EU and NATO membership. All you request is simply a valid individual Evidence, or a passport. Things are different with Ukraine or Belarus. There's sharpening on the border.
In order to enter Ukraine or Belarus, Polish citizens must have a valid passport (or temporary passport). The identity card does not entitle you to cross the border with any of these countries.
Poles can enter Ukraine for tourist and private purposes without a visa for up to 90 days in 180 days. During border inspection, border inspection is required
Passport – must be valid throughout your stay. Medical insurance – compulsory wellness policy, which covers medical costs and, due to ongoing martial law, war risks.
Financial guarantees – confirmation of adequate financial means for maintenance (cash, credit cards with an ATM extract). )
Reasons for the destination – e.g. booking accommodation, return ticket or invitation. - I'm sorry.
Belarus unilaterally extended visa-free movement for Poles until 31 December 2026. As part of this mode, Polish citizens can enter without a visa for tourist purposes for a maximum of 90 days per calendar year through all road, rail and air border crossings.
Ukraine is simply a small different and harder due to the war.
So in order to find ourselves in Ukraine or Belarus, you request to make efforts and effort, and this facilitates the linguistic change from "on" to "w", much faster.
