Poland has unveiled the identities of two individuals responsible for a significant explosion on a railway route leading to Ukraine. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Tuesday that the suspects are Ukrainians believed to have connections with Russian intelligence. They reportedly escaped to Belarus following the incident.

The explosion on the pivotal Warsaw-Lublin line, which serves as a connection between the Polish capital and Ukraine's border, is classified within a spectrum of sabotage acts. These acts include arson and cyberattacks, which have dominated Poland and other parts of Europe since the onset of the war in Ukraine. Poland, emerging as a focal point for aid to Kyiv, allegedly faces heightened threat levels by Moscow, with Russia staunchly denying any ties to such sabotage activities.

During a parliamentary session, Tusk stressed the significance of apprehending those behind these deliberate acts aimed at wreaking havoc on railway infrastructures. A spokesperson for Poland's special services minister indicated probable involvement from Russian intelligence in orchestrating these railway disruptions.
