Individual residing in Ukraine, who had expressed intentions to set himself ablaze in Poland due to termination of benefits, has been returned to his native country following deportation orders
Poland has taken the unprecedented step of expelling 15 Ukrainian citizens from the country, following a series of criminal activities and threats of arson. The decision was announced by Marcin Kamiński, Poland's Minister of the Interior and Administration, on social network X.
The expulsion came after the cancellation of social benefits for unemployed Ukrainian refugees, a decision that was later vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki on August 25. The threats were made public in a video posted on TikTok by a user named stepan3336, who demanded that social benefits be reinstated and threatened more arson if their demands were not met.
According to reports, the video showed a fire being extinguished, with the user claiming that it was set by Ukrainians. However, there are no credible or detailed public reports identifying a specific Ukrainian citizen who made the threats and was forcibly deported by the Polish border police.
The expelled individuals were found guilty of various crimes and offenses, with some being involved in drug possession and distribution. The deportation was due to their repeated punishments for crimes and offenses, as well as the threats of arson made public in the TikTok video.
The Border Guard of Poland was involved in the forcible deportation of the individual, who was returned to Ukraine. It is important to note that this is not the first time such incidents have been reported, as it was previously reported that Ukrainian refugees had been stealing from Poles for three years.
This decision by the Polish government is a clear indication of their commitment to maintaining law and order in the country, and sending a strong message to anyone who threatens the safety and security of its citizens. The expulsion of these individuals is expected to have a significant impact on the Ukrainian community in Poland, and could potentially lead to a reevaluation of the country's refugee policies.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential that both the Polish and Ukrainian governments work together to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens, and find a solution that respects the rights and dignity of all involved.
