Such incidents shed a harsh light on the crime situation in the region. It's not just a question of property, but also of security and a sense of community.

Former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who recently made a strong plea for support for Ukraine in Potsdam, stressed that we as a society must respond to the urgency of the current geopolitical situation.

The appeal to civil society to come together and actively promote safe and respectful coexistence is more relevant than ever. The police and fire brigade are on standby, but citizens are also asked to keep a close eye on their surroundings and, if necessary, report if they notice suspicious activity. A strong sense of community is essential in order to effectively counter such incidents in the future.
