Details
According to Bodnar, a Ukrainian citizen became a victim of a group attack after a domestic incident that was resolved without police involvement.
Despite this, he was subjected to physical violence, and during the attack, offensive remarks related to his national origin were made. As a result of the beating, he sustained severe bodily injuries and is in the hospital.
Bodnar emphasized that Ukrainian citizens have the right to respect for their dignity and safety regardless of their country of residence, and any manifestations of violence or hate speech against Ukrainians are unacceptable and must receive a proper legal assessment.
I expect that the circumstances of this incident will be thoroughly and impartially investigated, and the perpetrators will be brought to justice in accordance with the law, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, including the possible motive of national hatred.
The Ambassador also added that the consular service of Ukraine in Poland is in constant working contact with Polish law enforcement agencies and receives the necessary information through official channels.
"Acts of violence against Ukrainian citizens abroad require an appropriate and consistent response," he summarized.
