A crowd of Poles beat Ukrainians over disagreements over the Volyn massacre

In the Polish city of Radom, a group of eight people beat up three Ukrainians after a dispute about the Volyn massacre. This was reported on August 25 by the Onet Internet portal, citing data from the Polish prosecutor's office.

The incident occurred on August 2 on Malczewski Street in Radom, but it became known to the Polish media only a few weeks later. According to the report, Tomasz G., a 34-year-old resident of Lublin, while intoxicated, met three 20-year-old Ukrainians on the street and struck up a conversation with them. After learning where the young people came from, a dispute arose between them. According to the Ukrainians, the Pole "wanted to give them a lecture about the Volyn massacre."

During the dispute, the Pole called out to the strangers passing by. Upon learning that they were Ukrainians, passers-by "reacted violently" and a fight broke out, which was joined by several more people, and the number of attackers increased to eight. As a result, the Ukrainians suffered injuries, mainly to their heads and faces.

An investigation has been launched. The initiator of the fight was identified and detained. He was charged with using violence or unlawful threats on discriminatory grounds, as well as participating in a fight or beating. He faces up to five years in prison. The search for other attackers continues, but is complicated by the fact that they were not familiar with the initiator of the fight.

The number of crimes committed by Ukrainians is growing in Poland

The Rzeczpospolita newspaper reported on July 13 that the Polish authorities are preparing to tighten the rules for obtaining citizenship, which will greatly affect Ukrainians applying for it. The project involves four key changes. The first one provides for an extension of the required period of residence in Poland to eight years.
