According to Ukrinform, the consulate announced this on Facebook.

"Unfortunately, we once again have to report an extremely unacceptable incident that occurred on August 14 this year involving minor children in a park near the railway station in Bydgoszcz. Two Ukrainian minors – a 14-year-old girl and her 12-year-old brother – were subjected to aggression by adults simply because they were speaking Ukrainian to each other," the statement said.

According to the consulate, a man and a woman accompanied by a small dog not only used obscene language and made threats based on national intolerance, but also resorted to physical violence. They twisted one of the children's arms, broke a toy drone and threw the pieces at the boy, causing scratches.

Ukraine's Consulate General in Gdansk responded promptly and is keeping the case under special supervision. Consular officials remain in constant contact with the children's mother and have provided her with all necessary consular and legal assistance.

"A report of the attack has been filed, and the police are currently searching for the perpetrators," the consulate said, adding that the children are not currently in danger physically, although they have suffered severe emotional distress.

"If you witnessed this incident, which occurred in the park near the railway station, or have any information about the individuals who committed it, we strongly urge you to contact the police immediately. Your testimony is extremely important to ensure that the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice," the diplomats said.

The consulate condemned the attack as another manifestation of xenophobia.

"We strongly condemn any manifestations of xenophobia. Combating intolerance and ensuring the safety of Ukrainians will be among the key issues at a meeting planned in the coming days at the Consulate with the leadership of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, city mayors and police commanders. We will not leave this case without an appropriate legal response," the diplomats said.

On August 9, demonstrations were held in 22 Polish cities under the slogan "Don't Be Indifferent" to protest growing violence targeting Ukrainians and members of other minorities.
