Details of the deported Ukrainian's story

It is specified that among those arriving in Ukraine was 18-year-old Angelina from Dnipro, who arrived in Poland back in February 2022. The girl notes that in the new country she had to start all over again: she lived with her grandmother in Pruszków, near Warsaw, studied at a local vocational school, and worked in an online store.

«I never dreamed that my visit to the concert would end with such a profound shock. I was detained at 6 am and was not even allowed to take my backpack. Addressing with the words 'Glory to Ukraine', I was taken away and sent back. I was also banned from entering the Schengen Zone countries for the next five years», - Angelina said.

According to her, she was detained by security after she decided to jump from the stands onto the stadium field, which she called a 'spontaneous decision'. After that, she was held in a basement cell of the stadium where the concert was held. The girl added that she was fined 2,000 zlotys (about 22,000 hryvnias), although she believes she did nothing wrong.

As a result of Max Korzh's concert in Warsaw, the Polish authorities intensified control over Ukrainians and began deporting those who violated the rules. One of the affected Ukrainians published her experience of the incident, where she spoke about the punishment and circumstances of her deportation.
