The article examines the essence of the ongoing integration process of Ukrainians into the society of European countries, the peculiarities of the social and personal adaptation of Ukrainian citizens to the EU against the background of forced emigration due to the military conflict in terms of the provisions of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the social field. The main qualities of the social field are considered, such as the autonomy of the field, the mutual influence of agents on each other, the influence and types of capital, in particular economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital, as the basis of inequality and struggle within the field. An analysis of the development of relations between the integration of Ukrainians and European society is carried out, taking into account the main indicators of the capital possessed by both parties.The purpose of the article is to study the integration process of Ukraine in the EU in the context of the development of the leading provisions of P. Bourdieu’s theory of the social field.The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the integrative process of society is an extremely complex multi-level procedure, which affects both numerous social relations, separate relations between a person and the State, the relations of various social formations with each other, as well as internal aspects of the individual, forms a new worldview, initiates a different cultural and psychological composition. The integration of Ukrainians is taking place against the background of complex political, military and psychological events. In general, full-fledged integration requires time and constant efforts, changes in the socio-cultural way of life require new adaptation mechanisms and the necessary qualities for successful assimilation of a new way of life and awareness of oneself as a part of another cultural and social stratum. Absolutely all spheres of human life are subject to change, so it is possible to talk about the formation of a new personality, one that did not exist before.It is clear that all these points are gaining research relevance both at the theoretical level and at the level of socio-political practices and the development of an effective international social policy.
