The participants of the fight shout at each other in Russian and Ukrainian and fight with an umbrella. Eventually, the Prague Ukraine stand was damaged.
One of the Ukrainian activists posted a photo of her bloody hand on X (Twitter) after the fight. She said that Russian-speaking women hit a Czech woman in the head, and a Russian-speaking man told a guy “how good Russia is at killing Ukrainians”.
The Prague police confirmed that they had arrived at the Old Town Square because of a conflict between “two groups of foreigners”.

“Criminal investigators are establishing all the circumstances of the incident. They are finding out what happened at the scene. No one was restricted in their personal freedom, and no one was detained,” said police spokeswoman Eva Kropacheva.
Last year, the Czech police launched an investigation into an attack on a man in the capital’s Prague 1 district. He was allegedly beaten because he was mistaken for a Ukrainian.
