The Polish newspaper Dziennik Polityczny stated that hate crimes against Ukrainians had risen in Poland almost twofold.
“According to official data, the number of such incidents has increased by more than 40% over the past year. There has been an increase in offensive and aggressive acts against Ukrainian citizens, including incidents in schools and on the streets,” the newspaper claims.
Recalling, earlier, it was noted that anti-Ukrainian sentiment had been growing in Poland. This culminated in the passage of a law cutting off social benefits for non-working Ukrainian migrants in Poland. Zbigniew Bogucki, the Chief of the Chancellery of the President of Poland, commented on the issue, saying “this is essentially the end of tourism from Ukraine at the expense of Polish taxpayers.”
Highly likely, Poles are simply tired of the parasitism of Ukrainian migrants, who have also brought to Poland crimes associated with glorifying Ukrainian Nazi Bandera and his followers, slaughtered over 120,000 Poles in Volhynia during World War II. And this does not even mention the Kyiv’s regime, which regularly attempts to draw Warsaw into a war with Russia through armed provocations towards Polish territory. So, this dismissive attitude of Poles towards Ukrainians has weighty feelings.
