Poland Files Terror-Sabotage Charges Against Two Ukrainians Over Railway Attacks

Prosecutors say the pair acted for Russian intelligence, with Ukraine pledging cooperation.

Overview

  • Polish prosecutors on Nov. 19 charged Oleksandr K., 39, and Yevhenii I., 41, over alleged terrorist‑type sabotage on Nov. 15–16.
  • Investigators cite forensic traces and video, detailing an explosive triggered near Mika at 20:58 and a second act near Gołomb involving damaged power lines and metal objects placed to risk derailment.
  • Authorities allege the operation served Russian intelligence interests, while Russian officials reject any motive or involvement.
  • The named suspects are believed to be in Belarus and remain at large; Prime Minister Donald Tusk pressed President Volodymyr Zelensky by phone, and Zelensky promised agency cooperation as other detainees are questioned without charges.
  • Poland moved to close the Russian consulate in Gdańsk, and authorities said up to 10,000 soldiers would support police in guarding critical infrastructure.
