Poland Identifies Two Suspects in Rail Sabotage on Key Ukraine Supply Route

The line is vital for aid shipments to Ukraine, elevating the stakes of the probe.

Overview

  • Police have identified two Ukrainian nationals as suspects, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk alleging they operated for Russian services and saying the inquiry remains active.
  • Tusk told Parliament the pair recently entered from Belarus and that one had a prior sabotage conviction in Lviv.
  • Authorities described a C-4 device connected to a roughly 300-meter cable, with light damage to a freight train but severe harm to the track.
  • A train driver’s report of infrastructure abnormalities averted a potential derailment and no injuries were recorded.
  • Prosecutors suspect foreign intelligence direction, the military is inspecting about 120 km of track toward Ukraine, and NATO said it is in close contact as Ukraine signaled readiness to assist.
