Prime Minister Donald Tusk condemns attack on Ukrainian girls on a bus
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has firmly condemned a recent incident that took place on a bus in southern Poland. Two 11-year-old girls from Ukraine were victims of verbal aggression by passengers. The case has sparked a widespread national discussion regarding the safety and treatment of refugees.
The head of the Polish government emphasized that such behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated in Polish society. The Prime Minister pointed out that attacks on children are particularly painful and require a decisive response from law enforcement agencies and society as a whole. In his statement, he noted that Poland should remain a safe place for everyone seeking shelter from the war.
Donald Tusk also drew attention to the broader problem of rising anti-Ukrainian rhetoric in the public sphere. According to the Prime Minister, aggressive political statements and the spread of hatred on social media directly influence citizens' attitudes and can lead to acts of violence in everyday life. He appealed for greater responsibility for the words we use in public debate.
Currently, the case is being investigated by the relevant authorities, who are establishing the exact course of events and the identities of those responsible for the attack. This incident serves as a reminder of the need to foster mutual respect and empathy in relations between Poles and the people from Ukraine who have been staying in our country since the outbreak of the armed conflict across our eastern border.
