WARSAW, Poland — Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk revealed on Tuesday that two Ukrainian citizens, allegedly working for Russia, are suspected of orchestrating a railway explosion in Poland over the weekend. Addressing the Sejm, Poland’s lower house of parliament, Tusk described the incident as an “unprecedented act of sabotage” targeting a rail line connecting Warsaw to the Ukrainian border. The suspects, whose identities remain undisclosed due to ongoing investigations, reportedly fled Poland via the Terespol border crossing into Belarus. Tusk emphasized their long-standing collaboration with Russian intelligence services. In a separate but related incident, power lines along the same railway further south were also damaged, which Polish officials have confirmed as sabotage. Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the accusations, labeling them as part of a broader trend of “Russophobia” in Europe. Western officials have accused Russia of staging numerous attacks across Europe since its invasion of Ukraine, aiming to destabilize support for Kyiv and sow division. In response, Poland’s National Security Committee convened with military and intelligence leaders to address the threat. Army patrols have been deployed to secure critical infrastructure in eastern Poland. Prosecutors have launched an investigation into the sabotage, which they described as “acts of terrorism” endangering public safety. The damaged railway sections have since been repaired, and no injuries were reported.
