Poland detains 17-year-old Ukrainian for vandalism of monument: what is known.

In Poland, law enforcement detained a 17-year-old citizen of Ukraine for committing an act of vandalism by spraying graffiti on the monument to the victims of the Volhynia tragedy. This was reported by the Polish Minister of National Defense, Tomasz Semeniak.

The monument was found to have anti-Polish graffiti featuring the UPA flag and glorifying Ukrainian insurgents. Semeniak noted that this act was committed at the direction of 'foreign agents', which contributes to fueling tensions between the Polish and Ukrainian peoples.

The Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland confirmed the detention of the Ukrainian 'on charges of sabotage' and emphasized the recruitment by Russian special services of citizens of Ukraine and Belarus for similar actions on the territory of Poland.
