Poland Says Ukrainians Working for Russia Behind Railway Sabotage

  • An explosion damaged a section of the Warsaw–Lublin railway line, a key route for transporting Western weapons and aid to Ukraine. No injuries were reported.
  • Polish authorities also found damaged overhead power lines on the same route, likely deliberate, aimed at derailing trains.
  • Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the events an “unprecedented act of sabotage” and vowed to catch the perpetrators. The government raised the threat level to “Charlie” on parts of the rail network and deployed military patrols to secure critical infrastructure.
  • Investigators say two Ukrainian men, suspected of collaborating with Russian intelligence, carried out the sabotage before fleeing to Belarus. One suspect has a prior conviction for sabotage in Lviv, while the other is from Russian-occupied Donbas.
