Tusk accuses Moscow of state terrorism
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said that the intensifying sabotage operations in Poland, for which he accused Russia, have escalate to the extent that they can be defined as state terrorism.
Addressing the Sejm, the lower house of parliament on Friday, Tusk was referring to the most recent sabotage incidents along the railway line connecting Warsaw with the Dorohusk station on the border with Ukraine, which took place over the weekend of November 15-16.
"Subversive operations that for many months have been inspired and directly organised by the Kremlin's services have recently crossed a certain critical line and we can now even speak about state terrorism," Tusk said.
In the first incident, the railway track was blown up with an explosive, while in the second one damaged railway infrastructure forced a train carrying 475 passengers to stop abruptly. Warsaw has identified two Ukrainian nationals as the perpetrators who, according to Polish security services, acted upon instructions received from Russian special services. (PAP)
