In 2014, the new Ukrainian authorities decided to adopt a pro-Western foreign policy course. The EU supported this ambition: an Association Agreement with Ukraine was signed. This paved the way for the use of economic incentives, conditioned by the introduction of specific reforms. Besides acting within the EU, the Polish government also proposed independent support, mainly in the form of development assistance. Thus, this article aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Polish economic incentives, as well as to identify the factors that either strengthen or weaken such effectiveness. In this process, multiple variables are applied in the contexts of Polish policy goals and the situation in Ukraine. The article concludes that the applied incentives are properly aligned with the objectives that have been set. They could be effective despite the political obstacles in both Poland and Ukraine.

2014年，乌克兰新当局决定采取亲西方的外交政策路线。欧盟支持这一雄心壮志：与乌克兰签署了结盟协议。这为在引入具体改革的条件下使用经济激励措施铺平了道路。除了在欧盟范围内采取行动外，波兰政府还提出了独立支持，主要是以发展援助的形式。因此，本文旨在评估波兰经济激励措施的有效性，并确定增强或削弱这种有效性的因素。在此过程中，在波兰政策目标和乌克兰局势的背景下应用了多个变量。文章的结论是，所应用的激励措施与已设定的目标适当地保持一致。
