Suspects arrested for attack on Ukrainians in Wrocław: Kyiv's reaction and context of incidents

Polish law enforcement agencies have responded promptly to another crime committed against Ukrainian citizens. According to RBK-Ukraine, citing a statement by the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sybiga, two suspects were arrested in Wrocław on July 27 for attacking Ukrainians.

Prompt response and investigation progress

Andriy Sybiga confirmed that the police have already taken control of the situation, although the search for a third participant in the attack continues. The official emphasized the importance of conducting a full, objective, and impartial investigation. The main goal is to establish all the circumstances and motives of the crime, as well as to ensure the fair punishment of the guilty.

Kyiv expressed gratitude to the Polish authorities for their prompt and principled response. Ukraine has committed to closely monitoring the progress of the case and providing necessary consular assistance to the affected citizens. The General Consulate of Ukraine has already sent an official request to the competent authorities of the National Police of the Republic of Poland to coordinate actions.

Details of the incident in Wrocław

According to media and social network reports, the victims of the brutal beating were a girl and her boyfriend. The attack was carried out by three young men. Sybiga instructed the consulate to urgently take response measures to protect the interests of the affected Ukrainians.

Context: series of incidents and call for dialogue

This case is not isolated. Previously, on July 18, in Legnica, a 26-year-old woman used violence against two 13-year-old Ukrainian teenagers. Even earlier, on May 7, three Ukrainian teenagers were brutally beaten in the center of Warsaw. In that case, the police quickly identified the suspects, who turned out to be Polish citizens.

Against the backdrop of a rise in such incidents, Andriy Sybiga appealed to Polish politicians to stop inciting hatred, which is increasingly turning into real physical attacks on the streets. According to the Acting Minister, countries need to seek dialogue and mutual respect, rather than reasons for hatred. Sybiga concluded that Ukraine and Poland are destined for pragmatic good neighborliness and joint protection of security from common threats.
