A bus carrying Ukrainians crashed in Poland, injuring all nine passengers on board, Polish police reported on July 20.

The crash took place at around 5 a.m. in the area of Swiebodzin in western Poland.

According to Polish news outlet RMF24, five of the passengers were seriously injured, among them four children aged 2 to 15.

A police spokesperson told RMF24 that the bus hit a road repair truck that was carrying a sign informing drivers that the road was about to narrow.

In June, four people were hospitalized after a bus with 57 Ukrainians on board crashed near the city of Constanta in Romania.

Forty-two of the passengers on the bus were Ukrainian minors, two of whom were hospitalized after the accident.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

"I've gotten to see things I was very surprised at. Rockets being shot into cities like Kyiv during a negotiation that was maybe very close to ending," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
