N2  - This study reports on an online survey conducted among Ukrainian and Belarusian students of English at Maria Curie-Sk?odowska University (UMCS) in Lublin, Poland. The aim of the survey was to inquire into the students? linguistic awareness, their
linguistic identity, as well as their own and other people?s linguistic behaviour after February
24, 2022. The date of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine functions as a caesura,
not only in the political or military sense, but also as something that exerted enormous
in?uence on the Ukrainian language speci?cally, and generally on the use of language
by the people a?ected. Therefore, for the survey results to be properly understood, a
broader context must be drawn: this includes the in?uence of the full-scale invasion on
the Ukrainian people as language speakers, as well as on the linguistic situation in Belarus,
especially after the falsfied presidential elections of 2020. Against this backdrop, the
survey has provided information on how Belarusian and Ukrainian students feel about
their native languages, how the war has changed their own and other people?s attitudes to
those languages, as well as what role in this con?guration is played by Polish (the language
of the country they are living in) and English (the language of their education and often
professional careers). After providing a qualitative analysis of the survey results, the article
proposes conclusions relating to the possible incorporation of Ukrainian and Belarusian
elements in the English Studies classroom at UMCS.
