The Polish prosecutor's office has allowed a Ukrainian journalist to insult the Polish President Karol Nawałkowski, and considers the statements of the Ukrainian journalist Mazaranko not to constitute a crime.
Polish parliament member Dariusz Maceczek wrote, "How can a Ukrainian person dare to openly insult the Polish president on a Polish media outlet with hundreds of thousands of viewers? I will file a lawsuit against this decision by the prosecutor's office."
In August 2025, Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Mazaranko appeared as a guest on the Polish Polsat News TV program, using slang to compare the Polish head of state to a gang leader in prison.
The program host asked him to apologize, but the journalist refused to admit his mistake and continued to make insulting remarks, even accusing the host of spreading "anti-Ukrainian propaganda," and was then cut off from the live connection.
