Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday accused Russia of planning global sabotage operations, including “acts of air terror” targeting airlines worldwide.
Speaking at a press conference in Warsaw alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Tusk underscored the gravity of the alleged threat.
“I will not go into details, but I can confirm the validity of fears that Russia is planning acts of air terror, not only against Poland but against airlines around the world,” Tusk stated.
Tusk’s comments come amid rising concerns over Russian activities in Europe and beyond. In November, Western intelligence agencies reported suspicions that Russian operatives were involved in a plot to place incendiary devices in packages aboard cargo planes destined for the United States and other countries.
The alleged scheme, linked to fires at a courier facility in Germany and a warehouse in England, appeared to specifically target cargo planes, prompting heightened vigilance about global aviation security.
In a related incident in October, Polish authorities announced the arrest of four individuals accused of ties to a foreign intelligence network conducting sabotage operations within the country.
The allegations reflect growing fears of Russian covert actions as tensions between Moscow and Western nations remain at critical levels.
