Authorities in Poland have arrested eight people across the country on suspicion of preparing acts of sabotage, a spokesperson for the National Prosecutor’s Office has said.
Prosecutors have accused one of the detainees, a Ukrainian national, of being involved in plans to send explosive materials to Ukraine. Polish prosecutors revealed that their aim was to intimidate the population and destabilise EU countries supporting Ukraine in the first place.
On Tuesday, October 21th, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on X
The case is ongoing. Further operational activities are continuing.
Tomasz Siemoniak, Poland’s Minister of Coordinating Special Services, also wrote on social media that the detainees were arrested on suspicion of
conducting reconnaissance of military facilities and critical infrastructure, preparing resources for sabotage and directly carrying out attacks.
Western officials are regularly accusing Russia and its proxies of being behind dozens of incidents across Europe since the beginning of the conflict.
