Włodzimierz Czarzasty Defends Ukrainians in Poland Amid Anti‑Ukrainian Attacks

Włodzimierz Czarzasty, Marshal of the Polish Sejm, publicly defended Ukrainian residents in Poland, condemning recent anti‑Ukrainian assaults and urging the left‑wing parties to unite before upcoming elections. He highlighted incidents such as a verbal attack on two Ukrainian girls on a bus in Bielsko‑Biała and welcomed a beaten Ukrainian teenager and his family into the Sejm, describing the situation as a "hunt for Ukrainians" in Poland.

Former prime minister Leszek Miller responded to Czarzasty’s statements, reminding that Poland has shared a border with Russia since 1991 and questioning the rhetoric about potential Russian incursions. Miller’s reply underscored internal disagreements within the left over support for Ukraine, while Czarzasty continued to call for solidarity with Ukrainian communities despite criticism of the Ukrainian government’s actions.
