Ukrainians Face Rising Attacks in Poland; Consulate Urges Authorities to Act.

Ukraine’s Consulate in Poland Demands Swift Action

According to Espreso.tv: Ukraine’s consulate in Poland has issued an urgent call for a response to a surge in violent incidents targeting Ukrainian citizens. The appeal was posted on the consulate’s official Facebook page. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andriy Sybiha, has instructed the consulate to take all necessary measures in reaction to the situation.

As part of these efforts, the consulate has formally requested assistance from Poland’s police authorities. In a statement, the consulate declared:

“We urge Polish law enforcement to respond promptly to the latest incident in which Ukrainian citizens were harmed.” – Consulate General of Ukraine

Local Authorities Respond

On July 25, the city council of Sopot passed a resolution condemning anti-Ukrainian sentiment. The Ukrainian consulate further emphasized that “any acts of violence, xenophobia, or hatred are unacceptable and have no place in a democratic society.” The consulate will continue to monitor developments closely, expressing concern over the growing number of attacks.

The increase in violence against Ukrainians in Poland may indicate a shift in the public atmosphere that warrants attention from both Ukrainian and Polish officials. By coordinating with Polish law enforcement, the consulate aims to help prevent future incidents and safeguard Ukrainian citizens abroad.
