Poland: As the primary destination (hosting ~1 million Ukrainian refugees), Poland grants temporary protection to arrivals, including over 167,000 men aged 18-60 since 2022.
Illegal crossers are typically processed without pushback, receiving residence permits and work rights. Asylum claims based on draft evasion are possible but less common, as temporary protection covers most needs. Economic integration is strong, with minimal public backlash against dodgers. In 2024-2025, increased detentions occurred, but most lead to legal status rather than deportation.
Romania: Over 18,300 illegal crossings recorded since 2022 (10,000 in 2024 alone), often through mountains or the Tisza River, with 25 fatalities.
Those apprehended by border police receive temporary protection and can move freely within the EU. No widespread prosecutions for illegal entry; instead, focus is on humanitarian aid. Asylum is available if temporary protection doesn't apply, with claims processed under EU rules. Romania hosts ~150,000 Ukrainian refugees as of mid-2025.
Hungary: Crossings often occur through fields or rivers, with smugglers charging premiums. Authorities provide papers, dry clothes, food, and water upon arrival, with no reports of refoulement (forced return).
Temporary protection has been granted to 37,000 Ukrainians, including 5,241 men aged 18-65.
Expired passports are accepted for status and employment. Asylum options exist for those fearing persecution (e.g., draft-related), though temporary protection is the default.
