Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk claims there was an act of sabotage on the Warsaw-Lublin railway, where an explosion destroyed the track.
A train line between the Polish cities of Warsaw and Lublin was damaged after an explosion, which Prime Minister Donald Tusk describes as an "unprecedented act of sabotage." According to the head of the executive branch, this route is "crucial" for sending aid to Ukraine.
"Blowing up the railway line on the Warsaw-Lublin route is an unprecedented act of sabotage, directly targeting the security of the Polish state and its citizens. This route is also crucial for sending aid to Ukraine. We will capture those responsible, whoever they may be," Tusk asserts on the social network X.
Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz says the military was inspecting a 120 km stretch leading to the border with Ukraine.
“This route is also used to transport weapons to Ukraine. Fortunately, no tragedy or injuries occurred, but the legal implications are very serious,” Tusk warned in a video address.
Meanwhile, in a press conference, the Polish Interior Minister confirmed the existence of at least one confirmed act of sabotage and another “very likely.” Furthermore, the Minister of Special Services, Tomasz Siemoniak, said that the probability of these acts having been carried out under the orders of another country's secret services is very high.
This attack follows an increasingly long list of incidents, ranging from arson, explosive attacks, cyberattacks, and disruption of civilian and military infrastructure with drones, in a campaign that affects not only countries bordering Russia, but also affects all of Europe.
In October alone, eight people were arrested in Poland on suspicion of planning acts of sabotage on behalf of Russia.
Poland is one of the countries that has offered the most assistance to Kyiv since the beginning of the Russian invasion. From the very beginning, Polish territory has been used as the main logistical hub for sending military support to Ukraine.
