In September, Polish border guards recorded a significant increase in the number of Ukrainians aged 18-22 who entered Poland – more than 10 times. Compared to August, the number of those who left Poland also increased – by 3.5 times.

This was reported by the Polish Border Guard in response to a request from ZAXID.NET, according to Censor.NET.

Thus, from 28 August to 28 September 2025, more than 56,000 Ukrainian citizens aged 18-22 entered Poland from Ukraine. In contrast, more than 19,200 left Poland for Ukraine.
