‘Zero Tolerance’: Polish Woman Charged After Alleged Nationality-Based Attack on Ukrainian Siblings
A 46-year-old Polish woman has been charged after allegedly verbally and physically attacking two Ukrainian siblings, aged 14 and 12, in Bydgoszcz. Police say the incident involved nationality-based insults and damage to the children’s toy drone.
A Polish woman has been charged after allegedly verbally abusing and physically assaulting two Ukrainian siblings in a park in Bydgoszcz, northern Poland. According to prosecutors, the incident occurred on Friday afternoon when the woman, aged 46, and a 34-year-old man were present. The incident involved the alleged destruction of a toy drone used by the children and comments directed at their Ukrainian nationality.
The children, aged 14 and 12, did not require medical attention. Police spokesperson Monika Chlebicz stated that it was likely the couple disapproved of the children's use of the toy drone, which was subsequently destroyed. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk condemned the act, emphasizing the zero tolerance for hatred, especially against children.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński echoed this sentiment, reaffirming zero tolerance for such hatred. The Ukrainian Consulate General in Gdańsk, a northern Polish port city, expressed strong condemnation of all manifestations of xenophobia and remains in contact with the children's mother.
