Anonymous telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric and some users on social networks spread information that on August 24, Independence Day, 12 Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw allegedly beat Poles because they refused to shout Nazi slogans, namely “Glory to Ukraine”. This is a fake.

The case was studied by the fact-checkers of the Center for Strategic Communications. On the night of August 24-25, a skirmish really took place on the boulevards near the Vistula river, in which 13 people participated. The Warsaw Police Headquarters posted a message on the website in this regard. It says that the conflict involved, in particular, the citizens of Georgia, who were recognized as aggressors, and there were no people who had “identity cards of Ukrainian nationality”.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to discredit Ukrainian refugees and turn Polish citizens against Ukrainians. Like, they create problems in Europe. Recently, Detector Media denied a fake that Ukrainian refugees caused an outbreak of an infectious disease in Rzeszow, Poland.
