Poland Investigates Possible Sabotage of Rail Line Used to Aid Ukraine
Warsaw, Poland – Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called an explosion on a key railway line, used for delivering vital supplies to Ukraine, an act of “sabotage.” The incident is under investigation, with authorities looking into the possibility of involvement by Russia, Belarus, or their allies.
The explosion occurred on a section of track connecting Warsaw to southeastern Poland. Polish officials confirmed that an explosive device was detonated, causing damage to the railway. Damage to overhead cables on the same line was also discovered.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stated that the alliance is closely monitoring the situation and awaiting the results of the investigation.
Western officials have voiced concerns over potential Russian efforts to undermine support for Ukraine. They point to a pattern of disruptive actions across Europe. Some believe these actions are intended to sow discord and weaken European resolve.
Tomasz Siemoniak, Poland’s security services minister, suggested that the likelihood of foreign involvement in the railway incidents is “very high.” Investigators believe the professionalism displayed suggests the involvement of individuals with specialized training, possibly state-sponsored.
Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced plans for the army to inspect a significant portion of the Warsaw-Lublin-Hrubieszów line, a crucial link between Poland and Ukraine.
