Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the attack at the Benedictine sisters’ monastery in Jarosław, Poland, carried out by a 31-year-old citizen of Ukraine. This was reported by Hlavkom with reference to the Ukrainian leader’s statement.
“A horrific crime at the Benedictine sisters’ abbey in Jarosław, committed by a citizen of Ukraine. Shocked by this evil,” Zelensky wrote.
According to him, a priest was killed in the attack and several other people were injured. The president expressed his condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
“The person responsible for this evil must bear full responsibility under the law. We expect a swift and thorough investigation of all the circumstances,” Zelensky emphasized.
The attack occurred on 24 September at around 9:30 on the grounds of the Benedictine sisters’ abbey in the Polish town of Jarosław. According to Polish police, a 31-year-old Ukrainian with a knife attacked four men and one woman. Among the injured were three clergymen. One of them later died.
The suspect was detained at the scene. The Polish prosecutor’s office reported that the man had entered Poland from Germany that same day. Investigators are currently determining the motive for the attack; a blood sample was also taken from the suspect to test for narcotics. “It is painful that people are capable of such horrific crimes. Justice must prevail,” the president concluded.
Recall that a 31-year-old citizen of Ukraine attacked five people with a knife at a monastery in the Polish town of Jarosław. The death of one of the priests has been reported.
It is worth noting that the Ukrainian embassy in Poland condemned the attack on the Benedictine sisters’ monastery in Jarosław. The embassy stressed that there can be no justification for violence and attacks on people. In particular, it expressed gratitude to law enforcement, medical personnel, and all services that responded to the incident and are providing necessary assistance to the injured.
