Wrong geocode results - geocoding

Question

We're trying to geocode a location in Poland, using a street, zip code and a city name, but seem to get wrong result. We're looking for: DĄBROWSKIEGO , 82-300 ELBLĄG
Request:

Instead of a road of that name in the city of Elbląg we get a street of the same name in Poznań:

Trying to use newer api gives the same results:

Looking for a different street in the city of Elbląg gives us proper result:
