In the Polish capital, a Ukrainian woman was injured during a confrontation with a group of Polish adults. They allegedly reacted negatively to her Ukrainian accent and knocked out two of her front teeth.
This was reported by NEXTA Polska.
The incident took place in a park in Warsaw.
The girl was spending time there with other teenagers aged about 15–16. A group of Poles over the age of 30 approached the group of Ukrainians.
The victim’s mother claims that the adults asked the teenagers if they had any cigarettes. The teenagers replied in Polish that they didn’t smoke. After that, according to the mother, the men noticed the accent with which the children spoke Polish, and an argument broke out between them

The woman says that during the altercation, one of the Polish women snatched her daughter’s phone and struck her in the face. As a result of the blow, the girl allegedly had her two front teeth knocked out.
It is noted that the mother has already filed a report with the police. However, law enforcement has not yet identified the attackers.
The Ukrainian woman attributed her family’s decision to move from Poland to this kind of treatment of Ukrainians. According to her, her daughter was attacked precisely because she was speaking Polish with a Ukrainian accent.
The publication notes that there is currently no independent confirmation of all the circumstances surrounding the incident. Polish law enforcement and other official agencies have not yet publicly commented on this incident. It is currently unknown whether the attackers have been identified or what stage the investigation is at.

As a reminder, on August 9, demonstrations were held in 22 cities across Poland to protest the rise in violence against Ukrainians. The phrase “Don’t be indifferent” became the slogan of the protests.
