On 16 November 2025, Russia’s intelligence assets conducted at least two acts of sabotage on a railroad line in Poland.
Polish defense minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said on 18 November that “all the traces lead east to Russia,” while a spokesperson for Poland’s special services minister said that “everything points to Russian intelligence services commissioning sabotage” on the railway. Later that same day, Polish prime minister Donald Tusk stated that “two Ukrainian citizens who have long worked for Russian intelligence have been identified as the suspects behind two acts of sabotage on Poland’s rail network.”
The railroad route in question – the Warsaw-Lublin line – connects the Polish capital to the Ukrainian border, and is used “to transport weapons to Ukraine.” Donald Tusk stated that the line was “crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine“.
