The article addresses the issue of urban citizenship discussed in the context of Ukrainian migration to Poland, which is important in the process of migrant integration. The scale and dominance of migration from Ukraine in Poland make this theme particularly important. The concept of urban citizenship presupposes certain conditions to be met for its implementation. They allow us to take into account the component of practices, social relations and local identity. We associate the latter with the sense of being a city dweller (identification with the local community). Referring to the results of the qualitative research (FGI) carried out in 2022 with the inhabitants of Wrocław who have Polish and Ukrainian state citizenship, we have presented the conditions (necessary) for being a citizen of the city – the initial values that should be fulfilled by the citizens of Wrocław (irrespective of their ethnic origin and state citizenship held). By comparing the criteria for Poles with those for Ukrainians, we were able to identify a battery of objective and subjective, inclusive and exclusive indicators, as well as those that are more or less important for representatives of a given national category due to their realizing in the local community (and thanks to it) autotelic and instrumental needs.
