On the evening of Sunday 23 August 2026, in a restaurant in Częstochowa (Śląskie voivodeship), a 50-year-old resident of the city insulted a 21-year-old Ukrainian woman during a conversation, using abusive and indecent words directed at her because of her nationality.

He was placed under police supervision and faces up to five years in prison.
