The number of nationality-motivated attacks in Poland is steadily increasing, according to data provided to the Polish press by the National Police Headquarters.
This month has already seen widespread coverage of a vulgar attack on teenage girls from Ukraine on a municipal bus in Bielsko-Biała. An adult man verbally abused, threatened and insulted the girls for no other reason than that they were speaking Ukrainian.
And this is just one of 180 incidents that were reported to the police in the first half of 2026.
