A prominent US conservative says Russia is buying American media voices against Ukraine. Russia directly or indirectly finances many US media figures to stoke anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, influencer Laura Loomer claimed in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. She suspected that big American podcasters may take Russian money whether they realize it or not, though she offered no evidence. The accusation taps a long argument over how far Kremlin messaging travels through popular, independent-seeming Western voices. Loomer, a far-right US activist and ally of President Donald Trump known for incendiary claims, aimed it at some of America’s biggest conservative commentators, naming Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. How Russia courts Western voices Loomer said the Kremlin works to pull popular podcasters into its own political conferences and interviews, and pointed to Tucker Carlson, who interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2024 and reaches a vast US audience. That interview drew heavy criticism in the West for handing Putin a largely unchallenged platform, including for the historical claims he uses to justify the invasion of Ukraine. In Loomer’s telling, Carlson pushes anti-Ukrainian

Warsaw police have arrested a man suspected of stabbing two Ukrainians on a bus over their nationality, police said . A court ordered him held in custody, and the charges he faces carry long prison terms. Russia's full-scale war drove nearly a million Ukrainians to seek protection in Poland, and attacks on them for their nationality grew this year. Polish police received 180 reports of hate crimes against Ukrainians in the first half of 2026, over 30% more than a year earlier. Police tracked the suspect to a forest The attack took place on a Warsaw city bus in mid-October. The attacker stabbed and slashed two passengers, both Ukrainian citizens, and fled before police arrived. Both victims went to hospital with multiple stab and cut wounds. Police found that he attacked them because of their nationality. Officers quickly identified the suspect but spent days locating him. The 30-year-old was hiding and living in a forest in Warsaw's northern Bielany district, where police detained him last weekend.

A Ukrainian who had entered Poland from Germany carried out a stabbing attack last week Poland should tighten its border controls following a deadly knife attack by a Ukrainian national, former Polish Deputy Prime Minister and current Law and Justice (PiS) MP Henryk Kowalczyk has said, warning that the killing could fuel another wave of anti-Ukrainian sentiment. A 31-year-old Ukrainian citizen attacked five people at a Catholic abbey in the southeastern city of Jaroslaw on Thursday, killing a priest and injuring four others, according to Polish officials. The suspect, who according to investigators had entered Poland from Germany overnight and was apparently heading toward the Ukrainian border, was detained at the scene. Prosecutors are investigating the circumstances and motive behind the attack. “This will certainly trigger another wave of hostility toward Ukrainians,” Henryk Kowalczyk, an MP with the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, told Polish Radio’s Jedynka on Friday. The lawmaker stressed that politicians should not inflame anti-Ukrainian sentiment, but added: “We are talking about the facts. People draw their own conclusions: a Ukrainian kil

The knife attack by a 31-year-old man in Jarosław, southeastern Poland, should not in any way be used to cast suspicion on all Ukrainians in Poland; it is necessary to establish in detail what motivated the perpetrator.

Two adults allegedly attacked a 14-year-old Ukrainian girl and her 12-year-old brother after hearing them speak Ukrainian, Ukraine’s Consulate General in Gdańsk said . The attack occurred on 14 August 2026 in a park near a railway station in Bydgoszcz, north-central Poland. The case comes amid a documented rise in anti-Ukrainian violence in Poland, with recent attacks reported throughout the country. Recent incidents include attacks on Ukrainians in Poznań and Wrocław, as well as on people mistaken for Ukrainians or defending them. Police data obtained by the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita showed 180 hate-crime reports involving Ukrainian citizens in the first half of 2026, over 30% more than a year earlier. The pair, a man and woman with a small dog, shouted obscenities and made nationality-based threats, the consulate said. “ They twisted a child’s arm, broke a toy drone, and threw fragments at the boy ,” the Ukrainian consulate said, adding that the fragments scratched him. The consulate said a complaint had been filed, police were searching for the pair, and the children were physically safe but severely s

Former Polish prime minister Jarosław Kaczyński accused groups in western Ukraine of desecrating remains and stealing WWII-era victims’ jewelry. The leader of the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) wrote on X on 14 August 2026 that his party would demand Polish government intervention. Kaczyński’s claim comes amid growing anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Poland and a dispute with Kyiv over how Polish wartime victims are remembered. However, Kaczyński’s X post named no location and provided no public evidence, while authorized Polish-Ukrainian teams continue exhuming and reburying Polish victims. “Illegal excavations at the sites of former Polish villages in Eastern Galicia are turning out to be real,” Kaczyński wrote, referring to a historical region now largely in western Ukraine. He called the alleged looters “black diggers,” a term for people who dig through burials or archaeological sites for valuables. He said they were pilfering the graves of Poles killed in the World War II-era Volhynia massacres and alleged that local Ukrainian officials were allowing it. Kaczyński said PiS would appeal to Poland’s

Polish police detained two women in connection with an attack on Ukrainian men outside a Poznań restaurant, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński announced . The incident comes as Polish-Ukrainian relations grow more strained and public attitudes toward Ukrainians worsen. The incident occurred shortly after midnight on 13 August on Półwiejska Street. Police data obtained by Rzeczpospolita show 180 hate-crime reports involving Ukrainian citizens in the first half of 2026, over 30% more than a year earlier. Police have not said whether they are treating the Poznań case as a hate crime, although the recording includes nationality-based abuse.

Radical anti-Ukrainian rhetoric became less prominent across Polish social media in July, according to an analysis published on 3 August by Gremi Personal, a recruitment firm for Ukrainian workers. Gremi Personal researchers monitored public Polish-language posts and comments across Facebook, X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Wykop, a Polish social news and discussion platform. They recorded less direct ethnic abuse, collective blame, calls to restrict Ukrainians' rights, and justification of violence than in the previous period. Polish social media posts condemning xenophobia and attacks on Ukrainians also became more visible. Still, the result marks a shift in online discourse, not proof that attitudes across Polish society have improved. Gremi said its monitoring was not a representative opinion poll. Negative discussion around Ukrainian migration, welfare, and Polish-Ukrainian historical memory also remained widespread. Poland's social media may be cooling faster than its streets, but nearly a million Ukrainians still held temporary protection there as of mid-April 2026 amid rising hate crimes and renewed

Polish police have detained two of the three men suspected of beating a young Ukrainian couple in the city of Wrocław, Suspilne reported. Investigators are treating the assault as a hate crime driven by the victims' nationality , and the two detainees now face criminal charges and possible prison time. Officers are still searching for the third attacker as Kyiv presses for a full investigation. Nearly 987,000 Ukrainians held temporary protection status in Poland by mid-April 2026, according to UN refugee agency data. The beating adds to a run of anti-Ukrainian attacks across Poland.

Russian attacks have destroyed over 1.5 million books in Ukraine since the start of July. Source: Ukrainska Pravda. Kultura Details: "Russian missiles have destroyed printing houses, burned down publishers' warehouses, and destroyed hundreds of thousands of textbooks that were meant to reach Ukrainian schoolchildren before the start of the new school year," Kyrylo Budanov , Head of the President's Office, has said. Tetiana Berezhna , Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Minister of Culture, said publishers have lost hundreds of millions of hryvnias due to systematic Russian attacks. Budanov called the strikes "a deliberate continuation of the cultural genocide that Moscow has waged against Ukraine for centuries". He drew parallels with the anti-Ukrainian policies implemented by the Russian Empire, noting that in July 1863 the secret Valuev Circular was issued, which banned the publication of most books in Ukrainian. Thirteen years later, Russia introduced a further measure, the Ems Ukaz (decree), which almost completely destroyed Ukrainian literature and banned Ukrainian theatre performances, concerts of Ukrainian songs, and public readings of Ukrainian literary texts.

A Polish man stood up for a Ukrainian teenager, and three men beat him for it.

Police have recorded a 30% rise in complaints in the first half of 2026, Rzeczpospolita has reported Police in Poland have recorded a sharp rise in hate crime complaints from Ukrainians, according to national newspaper Rzeczpospolita. Ukrainians have increasingly reported physical assaults, verbal abuse, and online harassment, the outlet said. Ukrainians filed 180 hate crime complaints in the first six months of 2026 – around 30% more than in the same period last year, Rzeczpospolita reported on Friday, citing data from Poland’s National Police Headquarters. The figures follow a series of anti-Ukrainian incidents across the country. In the southern city of Bielsko-Biala, a bus driver was charged after allegedly insulting two 11-year-old Ukrainian girls because of their nationality. Other cases have been reported in Warsaw, Poznan, and other cities. “I assume these statistics don’t reflect the whole truth. It’s usually assumed that hate crimes are underreported. Some victims don’t want to report a crime because they’re simply afraid,” sociologist Jacek Kucharczyk told the newspaper. He argued that a “toxic atmosphere” surro

Bulgaria has pulled out of the Coalition of the Willing, the group of nations backing Ukraine against Russian aggression , Bloomberg reported . Pro-Russian Prime Minister Rumen Radev announced the exit on 14 July, a day after skipping the coalition's Paris summit . The move is the latest in a string of anti-Ukrainian steps Sofia has taken since Radev took office in May. Europe's anti-Ukraine bench rotates rather than empties — Viktor Orbán, who plotted an anti-Kyiv axis inside the EU, lost power at the ballot box in April, but Radev now fills his seat alongside Andrej Babiš, who defunded Czechia's shell pipeline to Ukraine, Robert Fico, who still lays flowers at the Kremlin wall each May, and Poland's right-wing presidency, which feeds a memory war that has already cost Kyiv medals, MiGs, and goodwill — each turning another capital into a brake on Europe's support. "Not prolonging it by military means" Radev told reporters on 14 July that Bulgaria rejects the coalition's core purpose. " We're not participating in a coalition that insists on continuing financial and military aid to Ukraine. The solution to this

Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has said that all young Ukrainians fit for military service should be in Ukraine and take part in defending it against Russian aggression. Source: Kosiniak-Kamysz said on 13 July, as reported by European Pravda Details: In his speech, Kosiniak-Kamysz criticised far-right anti-Ukrainian politician Grzegorz Braun and the opposition Law and Justice party for fuelling dangerous sentiments in society. "Look at where we are today: a nation that deserves the Nobel Peace Prize – Poland, Poles – for opening their hearts and the doors of their homes and, without setting up refugee camps, took in 3 million refugees. And today this fanaticism that has erupted has turned into something simply very dangerous," he said. Meanwhile, Kosiniak-Kamysz turned to criticism of Ukrainians, in particular those fit for service, saying they should be in Ukraine defending it against Russia. "Is everything all right with Ukrainians? No, it is not. Is it normal to crash cars worth millions of zlotys and drive into the Morskie Oko lake? No, it is not normal, and such people should be turned away. All young Ukrainians fit for combat should be in Ukraine and serve

Ewa Zajaczkowska-Hernik has been added to the Mirotvorets database after lashing out at Kiev over its glorification of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army Polish member of the European Parliament Ewa Zajaczkowska-Hernik has been added to Ukraine’s notorious Mirotvorets ‘kill list’ after publicly speaking out against Kiev’s glorification of Nazi collaborators. Zajaczkowska-Hernik’s entry appeared in the database on Wednesday, a day after she tore up a flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) during a debate on Kiev’s bid to join the EU. In her speech, she delivered a scathing indictment of Ukraine’s glorification of the UPA, whose fighters massacred up to 100,000 ethnic Poles in one of World War II’s worst atrocities. According to the database entry, Zajaczkowska-Hernik is described as a “xenophobe” and an “anti-Ukrainian propagandist” who participates in “acts of humanitarian aggression against Ukraine.” The MEP took to social media on Thursday to denounce the listing, saying she would not back down or be intimidated.

The presidential chief-of-staff says he opposes Kiev’s “historical lies” amid an escalating row over Nazi collaborators Ukraine’s state-backed Mirotvorets database of alleged “enemies of the state” has blacklisted Polish presidential chief-of-staff Zbigniew Bogucki, calling him an “anti-Ukrainian propagandist.” Bogucki responded by declaring himself an enemy of “Banderism” and Kiev’s “historical lies.” Tensions between Warsaw and Kiev deepened in May after Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky granted an elite commando unit an honorific referencing the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) – a WWII-era ultranationalist militia which cooperated with Nazi Germany and took part in ethnic cleansings targeting thousands of Poles, Jews, and Russians in what is now western Ukraine. Mirotvorets listed Bogucki, who is head of Polish President Karol Nawrocki’s office, on Monday after he used the term ‘Malopolska Wschodnia’ (Eastern Lesser Poland) during an address to the Polish parliament last Friday.

Krzysztof Bosak, co-leader of Poland's far-right, anti-Ukrainian Confederation party and Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, has claimed that the Polish government secretly transferred Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine in March. Source: Bosak on X (Twitter) , as reported by European Pravda Details: Bosak said the missiles were supposedly part of the Patriot stock that Poland had purchased from the United States to build its layered air defence system. Quote from Bosak: "Poland purchased them from the United States to build the layered air defence system – the same one you have been hearing about in the media for years but which remains unfinished." Details: Bosak noted that these were the only missiles Poland "had – or still has" that are capable of intercepting Russian Iskander missiles, which, he said, "pose a threat to Poland and are deployed in Kaliningrad Oblast". On 5 July, Polish news channel Polsat News quoted Polish Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk as saying that "the list of military aid provided is classified". However, Marcin Przydacz, Secretary of State and Head of the International Policy Bureau Chancellery of the President of Poland, said the claim was likely to

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has returned Poland’s highest honor to Warsaw, with the office of Polish President Karol Nawrocki confirming that the Order of the White Eagle arrived on 22 June. It will now be placed in a sealed archive, preserved but never awarded again. The handover turns what began as a one-sided snub into a mutual rupture between two wartime allies, and a lasting one. Poland remains Ukraine’s lifeline: Rzeszów is still the main hub for Western arms deliveries, and Warsaw helps shape Kyiv’s path toward the EU. A rift between the two serves only Moscow. Euromaidan Press traced the broader trend of anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Poland. A Ukrainian was among the White Eagle's first recipients The move is striking partly because Poland rarely revokes the Order of the White Eagle. Nawrocki’s chancellery acknowledged that the Order of the White Eagle still appears in state records alongside the names of Catherine II , who helped wipe Poland off the map in the 18th-century partitions; Benito Mussolini ; and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder . Warsaw left the honor untouched in all three cases.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki has rejected a suggestion by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the controversy surrounding the Order of the White Eagle is connected to domestic politics in Poland and the inciting of anti-Ukrainian sentiment. Source: European Pravda, citing Polsat News Details: In an interview with Ukrainian TV channel TSN.Tyzhden, Zelenskyy commented on the decision to strip him of the Order of the White Eagle, saying he believes the issue is linked to internal political struggles in Poland and the stoking of anti-Ukrainian sentiment. A few hours later, Nawrocki responded to this when he was asked by journalists to comment on the Ukrainian leader's remarks. "The dispute has nothing to do with Poland's internal politics. All patriots understand how many crimes were committed by Ukrainian nationalists in Polish lands, how dramatic those times were. The dispute is about the perception of historical issues and the fact that in Poland we do not accept the red-and-black Banderite flag," Nawrocki said, referring to the flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. "I cannot imagine that Polish patriots, and especially the Polish president and the Polish government, wou

Deputy Polish Defence Minister Paweł Zalewski has stated that Ukraine is not showing sufficient interest in receiving Polish MiG-29 fighter jets Source: European Pravda, citing Zalewski's interview with RMF24 Details: Zalewski explained that the delay in the transfer of Polish fighter jets to Ukraine, first announced at the end of last year, is due to two factors. Firstly, according to Zalewski, Ukrainians want aircraft adapted to modern combat conditions, while Poland is not prepared to cover these costs. "The second reason is that the transfer was supposed to be reciprocal, and today we are discussing cooperation in the field of drone technologies. These talks have not yet been concluded. This is more an industry matter than one for the Ministry of Defence. I would not look for any serious problems here," Zalewski added. Zalewski said that Ukraine is currently not actively seeking Poland as an ally, in particular due to the controversy surrounding the naming of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces unit after heroes of Ukraine's Insurgent Army. "[Polish] President Nawrocki believes that fuelling anti-Ukrainian sentiment is a good way to win votes. This is very damaging for Poland,"
