The post on this topic was edited. In reality, it discussed how a school in Kłodzko was receiving evacuees and needed humanitarian support.
A number of pro-Russian sources have spread the news that evacuees from the floods in Poland have nowhere to stay because all the spaces are occupied by Ukrainians. As proof, they cite a post allegedly made by a Polish woman named Dagmara Malinowska, who, along with her daughter, supposedly tried to evacuate to a hotel but was refused because all the rooms were taken by Ukrainians. Due to this, the woman and her child were forced to sleep in a camp at a school, where the child allegedly developed pneumonia. In her conclusion, Dagmara allegedly calls on the authorities to investigate why refugees are being given better conditions than Polish citizens.
However, this publication is completely fabricated. We managed to find the original post by Dagmara Malinowska with the same image. The woman does indeed live in Kłodzko and is involved in volunteer work, helping other flood victims—she collects humanitarian aid and helps care for displaced pets. However, Malinowska never mentioned Ukrainians occupying hotel spaces—in fact, she shared information that Elementary School No. 3 was receiving evacuees and needed humanitarian aid, such as water, hot food, and blankets.
The floods that swept across Europe were caused by Storm «Boris» and affected Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Romania. The storm claimed at least 21 lives, with residents of numerous settlements along the Czech-Polish border and near the Danube being evacuated, and significant damage was done to homes and infrastructure. The Odesa Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the disaster could lead to contamination of drinking water in the region and has stepped up preventive measures.
