According to the results of the historiographic review, the greatest attention was paid to the studies of the political component of the relations, which was considered to be determining, meanwhile the issues of the political, economical and cultural interaction were studied superficially. After the Ukrainian-Polish partnership reached the strategical level, the scientific research became more active.Many Polish scientists prove in their works that the success of Ukrainian-Polish international relations depends on European integration of Poland. The argumentation that the difficulties in Ukrainian-Polish collaboration arise from balancing of Poland between Europe and Russia can be noted in the historiographic works.The authors remark in the article that after Poland joined European Union, the eastern policy of the state has commenced to be more actively worked through. The researchers confirm that after Poland became a member of European Union, its relations with eastern neighbours, Ukraine, first of all, obtained a new meaning.

And it’s not only the content of the international relations but the geopolitical importance of Poland depend from the success of the program.Проанализировано историографическое наследие польских ученых, посвященное проблеме сегодняшних украинско-польских отношений.
