GROMDA linked to brutal attack on Ukrainian couple in Wrocław
On 26 July 2026 a 20‑year‑old Ukrainian woman and her partner were violently assaulted on Okulickiego Street in Wrocław. The assault involved three men, one of whom was identified as Adam C. (nickname “Cycu”), a member of the GROMDA fight‑club federation. Police arrested two of the assailants, aged 27 and 45, while a third suspect remains at large. Prosecutors are seeking up to 7.5 years imprisonment for Adam C. The GROMDA federation publicly condemned the violence, but its leadership has been criticised for xenophobic and racist rhetoric on social media. Further controversy arose when federation member Daniel “Piasek” Piaskowski released a video containing anti‑Ukrainian slurs. Political figures, including Poland’s government spokesman, denounced the attackers as “pathology”. The case has sparked a broader public debate on anti‑Ukrainian prejudice in Poland.
