In 2022 only 41 Ukrainian citizens who came to Poland after the war broke out (24 February 2022) joined the Polish elder exam. Due to the very tiny group of researchers and the fact that examinations were held only 2 months after the exile wave, detailed statistic on circumstantial languages for this subgroup were not as widely reported as in later years.

Russian language: As in the following years, it was the most frequently chosen modern abroad language by students from Ukraine who decided to take Polish advanced school.
Ukrainian language: In 2022 the language was not yet listed on the list of modern abroad languages (it could only be given as a language of a national number in selected schools). The majority of Ukrainian seniors in Poland (a fewer 1000 people) then joined the Ukrainian Matura (NMT) organized in Poland by the Ukrainian side, alternatively of taking the Polish exam.

But you didn't give the numbers
In 2022, only 41 Ukrainian citizens joined the Polish matura, who arrived in Poland after the outbreak of the war.
Due to the fact that the exam took place only 2 months after the invasion, the number of applicants was trace and their election was as follows:Russian: He was chosen by the vast majority of this 41-man group. It was the most widely chosen abroad language of their time.
Ukrainian language: The number of refugees was close to zero. In 2022 the Ukrainian language could only be passed as a language of a national number (obligatory only for Ukrainian class students in Poland) and not as a modern abroad language.

In 2023 158 Ukrainian citizens who came to Poland after the outbreak of the war joined the Polish elder exam.
Data on the choice of languages by this group (according to CKE statistics) are as follows:

Additional information about Ukrainian elder election in 2023:
Most Ukrainian students residing in Poland in 2023 did not enter the Polish Matura, choosing alternatively the Ukrainian National Multitest (NMT) given in electronic form.
In 2024 229 Ukrainian citizens joined the Polish examination system. Their language choices were as follows:
Russian language: 147 people chose him. It was the most popular abroad language modern among this group of students.
Ukrainian language: It was selected by 95 people. At the basic level (as the language of the national minority), 67 people were written, while 28 people were extended.
Key observations for the 2024 Matura:
Russian dominance: The number of Russian speakers (147) was almost twice as advanced as the number of English speakers (75) in the same group of Ukrainian citizens.
Facilitations: The Central Examination Commission (CKE) has prepared adapted sheets for Ukrainian students, including instructions in their native language.Alternative: The low full number of students (229 per 1000 students in Polish schools) is due to the fact that most Ukrainian youth inactive choose to pass Ukrainian GPA (NMT) in distant form, which allows them to recruit for studies in both Ukraine and Poland.
In 2025, as in erstwhile years, Ukrainian citizens who joined the Polish GPA chose Russian language much more than their parent tongue. This is due to the fact that Russian is treated as a modern abroad language, while Ukrainian in 2025 was given mainly as a language of a national minority.

Ukrainian language: It was selected by a full of 95 people (67 at basic level and 28 at extended level).
Key trends and changes in 2025: Russian dominance: Ukrainian students frequently choose Russian due to their proficiency in this language, which allows them to easy get a advanced score (the average score from Russian at the basic level in 2025 was about 80%).
Small scale at regional level: For example, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in 2025, for 179 seniors with Ukrainian passport, almost no decided to take an exam from their native language.
Future changes: From the school year 2025/2026 the Ukrainian language will enter the authoritative list of modern abroad languages to choose from. Since the 2026 GED, the number of people choosing this subject is expected to increase rapidly as it will replace Russian or English in the compulsory subjects group.
