On Twitter, the BBC published an interview with a Nigerian who complained about officers on the Polish-Ukrainian border. The material suggested that the Polish Border Guard treats people on the border "like animals" and has a worse attitude towards immigrants from Africa or India. The scandalous video that triggered an avalanche of comments has already disappeared from the Internet.
The tweet had huge ranges and thousands of shares. It caused a lot of emotions. Unfortunately, it was part of the Russian narrative.

- 50 percent people at railway stations are Hindus - reported one of the Ukrainians on the border in Medyka in an interview with the portal tarnogorski.info. He emphasized that transport to Poland was difficult for women and children. Why?
- They pull the child by the legs. Grandma fell and they were walking on her. (…) There is the same problem in Kiev. Trains are only for children and women, and they jump on those trains too. They pull the women away. You can already find many such videos on the Internet - he adds.
When asked to show these recordings, he replies: "No problem, I'll show you now." In the presented video, you can actually see the scuffles between women with children and men from outside Ukraine who want to get out of the country quickly. They are stronger, so they often take places in public transport to the border.
Why am I describing it? Because I just came back from Ukraine and I saw that this is what it looks like. There are thousands of immigrants from India and Africa at the railway station in Przemyśl or the Polish-Ukrainian crossing in Medyka. When the Polish humanitarian train appeared in Mościska, according to the railwaymen, these men were the first to try to enter it.
