As is known, in Polish Wrocław, a young couple from Ukraine was attacked. According to preliminary data, the reason for the aggression was the Ukrainian accent of the victims.

According to the police officer, the attack may have had a motive of national hostility, but it was also preceded by an argument in a store.
