WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland will respond soon over a railway explosion it blames on two Ukrainians collaborating with Russia to spread chaos in a nation strongly supporting Kyiv against Moscow’s invasion, the Polish foreign minister said on Monday.
“It was not only an act of sabotage but also an act of state terrorism. We will respond, not only diplomatically,” Radoslaw Sikorski told lawmakers, saying that would come in the next few days.
The blast at the weekend on the Warsaw-Lublin line, which connects the Polish capital to the Ukrainian border, followed a wave of arson, sabotage and cyberattacks in Poland and other European nations since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
Poland, which is a hub for Western aid to Ukraine, says two Ukrainian collaborators behind the sabotage have fled to Belarus, which is an ally of Russia.
Moscow denies responsibility for sabotage, pointing a finger at “Russophobia” in Poland and elsewhere.
