Two intoxicated Polish women detained after attacking Ukrainian men in Poznan
Two intoxicated Polish women attacked Ukrainian men in Poznan, shouting at them to go back to Ukraine. The incident is part of a broader rise in anti-Ukrainian violence reported in Poland.
An incident in the Polish city of Poznan saw two intoxicated Polish women attack a group of Ukrainian men. During the confrontation, the women reportedly shouted at the men to "get back to Ukraine," using abusive language.
Both women left the scene before police arrived. They were later identified by authorities and have since been detained.
Investigation ongoing
Authorities have not yet classified the case as a hate crime, and the investigation into the exact circumstances of the attack is continuing.
The incident is being viewed against the backdrop of a wider trend: reports indicate a rise in anti-Ukrainian violence across Poland in recent times. Poland has hosted large numbers of Ukrainian refugees since the start of the full-scale invasion, but tensions around their presence have reportedly been growing in parts of Polish society.
