Polish authorities have detained Ukrainian citizens suspected of vandalism for a period of three months.
Journalists received the information from Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to Ukrinform.
“According to preliminary information from the Consulate General of Ukraine in Wrocław, the suspects have been placed in detention for three months. A consular official is in contact with local law enforcement agencies, and a formal request has been submitted to clarify the circumstances of the incident,” the MFA stated.
The Ministry added that the case is under close supervision by the consular office.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, Polish police detained a 17-year-old Ukrainian citizen on suspicion of vandalism and inciting ethnic hatred.
The Ukrainian Embassy strongly condemned the acts of vandalism targeting memorial sites in Poland, describing them as a Russian provocation.
On August 13, Polish police announced the detention of two 17-year-old Ukrainians accused of defacing buildings and memorials dedicated to victims of the Volyn tragedy. The suspects allegedly painted red-and-black flags and left slogans associated with Stepan Bandera.
