During a farmers' demonstration in southern Poland, anti-Ukrainian and pro-Putin slogans were seen written on a sign. The authorities suspect the influence of “Russian agents’ behind the slogans.
A criminal investigation for promoting a fascist or totalitarian regime and for inciting hatred, an offense punishable in Poland by three years in prison, was opened by the police. The author has been identified. The Soviet flag and the sign were confiscated. Polish authorities also wanted to reiterate their friendly position towards Ukraine, despite the dispute.
