Poland has accused two Ukrainian nationals of carrying out railway sabotage operations on behalf of Russian intelligence, Prime Minister Donald Tusk told lawmakers on Tuesday — a revelation that heightens concerns about Moscow’s covert operations across Europe.
According to Tusk, the pair had been “active for a long time” and maintained direct cooperation with Russian services. While authorities have identified both suspects, their names remain undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation.
The sabotage incidents, carried out over the weekend, damaged a critical rail line used to funnel military and humanitarian aid into Ukraine. As the main logistical hub for Kyiv’s war effort, Poland calls the attacks a direct attempt to undermine Western support for Ukraine.
Tusk vowed that Poland will respond decisively to any Russian-directed operations on its territory.
