The war in Ukraine has led to a major dislocation of the population into neighboring Poland.The conflict began in February 2014 with Russia's annexation of Crimea and escalated dramatically on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.There has been widespread destruction, displacement, and humanitarian crises across the country.Millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes; over 2 million people had to flee Ukraine within 2 weeks and there have been more than 9.4 million border crossings.In this article, we have focused on the social impact of population migration, with particular attention to its effects on perinatal outcomes.Broad estimates suggest that around 2,65,000 Ukrainian women were pregnant when the war began and approximately 80,000 were expected to give birth in the first 3 months of the conflict.The Ukrainian conflict significantly affected the care of pregnant mothers-many experienced suboptimal antenatal care, underwent high levels of stress, and saw considerable uncertainty during displacement.Their infants had high needs for medical care.The arrival of large numbers of Ukrainians has led to noticeable changes in Poland's social landscape.The Polish government and society have responded to population movements from Ukraine by offering all-possible protection and wide-ranging support.Poland has received global recognition for its efforts to support Ukrainian mothers and children during the refugee crisis.
