After 3 years, a final judgement was passed.The Prime Minister points to the guilty Prime Minister Donald Tusk made the first authoritative findings in the Sejm regarding acts of diversion on the Warsaw–Lublin route. He reported that thanks to intensive police work, prosecutors and peculiar services, the individual liable for both sabotages was clearly identified. “In both cases, we are certain that the effort to blow up the tracks and the breach of railway infrastructure were intentional, they had their perpetrators,” he said. The Prime Minister stressed that little than 70 hours after the first incidental was reported, the perpetrators were identified. He besides stressed that Poland is in constant contact with allied countries to halt the perpetrators and their associates. Their identities are established. At the request of the prosecution, I will not give you names at the moment, due to the fact that further operations are being conducted," he explained. As he said, the perpetrators have been Ukrainian citizens for a long time working with Russian services. 1 of them was a man sentenced in May that year in Lviv for acts of diversion in Ukraine, who after his conviction stayed in Belarus. The second is simply a resident of Donbas, an worker of the local D.A. Both of them made their way from Belarus to Poland in autumn, just before the bombings. Polish services and prosecutors have individual data and images of men.– Following a diversion act in Mika, these people left Poland via the Terespol border crossing. This was just after the assassination, and so they have not yet been identified by the service," the Prime Minister reported. Donald Tusk besides provided details of the bombings. The first was to mount a steel roundabout on the track, which was likely to lead to derailment of the train. – The full event was to be settled by a powerbank telephone mounted at the tracks – he explained. The second attack was much more serious. It occurred on Saturday, November 15 at 8:58 p.m. – The C4 military-type explosive was detonated utilizing the initiating device via an electrical cable 300 metres long. A certain amount of explosive was besides secured at the scene, which did not detonate," said Prime Minister Tusk. – The cargo exploded during the freight train crossing of the Warsaw-Puława relationship, not leading to derailment, but only to insignificant harm to the wagon floor. The engineer didn't even announcement this incidental passing through this place. Tusk added that the study of a loud bang was received at 21.40 on Saturday from the village of Wilka. The police searched the area for an hour, but night conditions and no indication of a circumstantial location allowed traces to be found. Only the train driver passing by in the morning noticed the track's harm and stopped the depot. The reflex did not origin tragedy and the train did not derail. That same morning, the Prime Minister, the president and the applicable ministers were informed of the situation. There's been an unprecedented incident. This is possibly the most serious situation since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine, according to Tusk. He emphasized that Russia has long been conducting diversion and disinformation activities in Poland, and the modus operandi remains unchanged. As he said, 55 people have been detained in Poland on suspicion of cooperation with abroad services in the framework of sabotage and intelligence activities. The 28th was thrown to the front. “In all these cases, we identify the Russian services as outsourcing these tasks,” he said. The Prime Minister stressed that the scale of the threat that Poland is presently facing is unprecedented and fits in a well-known plan of Russian activities. As he pointed out, akin cases of diversion have already occurred in fresh months – besides in Wrocław in early 2024. I think we're all aware there's been an unprecedented incident. This is possibly the most serious situation since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine. A line has been crossed," said Donald Tusk. “Poland is the object of various types of diversion attempts, misinformation, and sometimes critical actions, specified as deliberate arson. The loudest act of specified a diversion is, of course, Maryvilska. Police, peculiar services and prosecutors work in specified cases with extraordinary dedication and intensity. The Prime Minister recalled that a akin pattern of action was detected in Wrocław in January 2024. – The first act of diversion that took place there was built on the same principle. The same modus operandi of Russian peculiar services – he stressed. He besides said that he received precisely the same signals from partners in Europe, most late in Moldova, Romania, large Britain, Germany, about precisely the same method of action. The Prime Minister besides warned against attempts to stimulate anti-Ukrainian sentiments." From the point of view of Russian interests, waking radically anti-Ukrainian emotions has a double value," he said. – It is disorganization, chaos, panic, and, on the another hand, an effort to disrupt societies. Tusk stressed that Russian diversionary actions are to bring not only material damage, but above all certain social and political consequences. As he pointed out, they are calculated to make anxiety and fuel divisions within the countries most burdened by the consequences of war. "I want to emphasise that what the Russian authorities care about is not only the direct effect of this kind of action, but besides the social and political consequences. This is disorganization, chaos, panic, speculation, uncertainty. And the second goal is to rise the moods as radically as possible anti-Ukrainian – said the Prime Minister. He pointed out that Poland is peculiarly susceptible to specified activities.– We have adequate burdens due to the fact that we have more than 1 million Ukrainian refugees. It is no wonder that anti-Ukrainian sentiments are becoming easier to develop, due to the fact that Polish citizens are increasingly carrying these burdens," Donald Tusk pointed out. He added that from the point of view of Russia, specified actions have a double effect. – The awakening of radically anti-Ukrainian emotions and disinformation that Ukrainian drones attack Poland or that Ukrainians blow trains, has a clear value for Russian services – he stated.

According to Tuska, Poland must respond calmly but decisively, based on reliable messages from the services, not on rumors or misinformation. “Just a small common sense to specify a Russian aggressive political and military interest, aimed simultaneously at Ukraine, Poland and the full West”, he said. – Therefore, I ask that in specified crucial matters as terrorist attacks or acts of diversion respect the messages of the service. The 3rd alert phase Tusk reported that he asked the Minister of Digitization Krzysztof Gawkowski to monitor the network continuously in connection with the increasing disinformation campaign. He besides pointed out the request to filter false reports and attempts to manipulate East. During his speech he besides referred to the cry from the hall, calling for restraint and political responsibility. At the request of the Head of ABW and the Minister of the Interior, the Prime Minister stated that he had decided to introduce a 3rd level of emergency CHARLIE on selected railway lines. – present I will issue the appropriate order – he announced. At the same time, he asked the Minister of abroad Affairs to take urgent diplomatic action on the issue of Poland suspects who are in Belarus and Russia. Tusk besides informed that Poland has provided details of the operation to abroad partners and neighbouring state services. He added that the government, in cooperation with the MON and the General Staff, is working on a reasonable usage of the military to defend critical infrastructure if necessary." We are dealing with dozens of trials, simulated, faked or authentic. From false bomb alarms to suspicious actions regarding water and sewage installations. Acts of diversion and actions of Russian services throughout Europe are gaining momentum, he said. – Fortunately, we have not noticed a single victim in Poland until today. Finally, the Prime Minister called on all groups to cooperate beyond divisions. – I ask that in these critical moments we support Polish services, prosecutors, police and military. So that, regardless of political emotions, we search what unites us, and support the Polish state in actions against Russian divers and another forms of aggression aimed at our security. I number on common sense and simple patriotism," he stressed. It was not the “gag of scrap thieves” that the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs Marcin Kierwiński informed that the incidents were explained by the services. "Poland is facing unprecedented diversion acts in fresh history. In this situation, no 1 should uncertainty how to behave. And no 1 should play on the notes of their enemies. Service is working. 1 thing is certain, the guilty will answer for this act of aggression" - wrote Minister Kierwiński. Police, CBI, ABW, method experts and prosecutors work there. In turn, the national defence minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz explained that coordinated actions were besides carried out with the 2nd Lublin BOT, especially with the 25th Battalion of Light Infantry from Zamość. The military checked the section about 120 km (at the railway traction) moving to the border in Hrubieszów. "In order to check the state of the railway infrastructure, extended patrol rides were carried out last night with own PLK SA vehicles - irregularities were not revealed. The PLK SA area is patrolled by Railway defender officers, WOT soldiers, Police and Border Guard. The patrol is besides covered by LK7 - no irregularities were found. All railway lines are mobile" - informs Polish Railway Lines. Minister of peculiar Services Coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak assured that the best officers and experts of peculiar Services were directed to clarify the case. He pointed out that the probability of this happening on behalf of abroad services is very high. "We deal with the services of a abroad state, not with a gang of scrap thieves," he said. In 1 of his entries on the X platform, he announced: "Anyone who threatens the safety of the Republic and its citizens will be liable for this with the full firmness of the law and means available to the Polish State. The services are working and will work very effectively. "Five minutes before the war? According to RMF FM's findings, the service knows who purchased 2 SIM cards for phones that were utilized to detonate loads on the Warsaw-Lublin railway way tracks. The detonation on the tracks was to be initiated remotely. The service claims that the services secured the cards of the Polish operator from the found devices, and on the basis of them managed to scope the passport data for which these cards were purchased. In today's interview with Radio Zet, the president of the PSL, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz reported that in the case a "very abundant evidence" was secured, which "will let the perpetrators of this shameful act of diversion to be verified very quickly". He clearly did not confirm who might have been behind the attack, but he said that specified actions are part of the hybrid war that the Russians are conducting with NATO and Europe." The point is to make anxiety, fear. We are to be careful, but not afraid, to be humble, but strong – he continued. – (Russians do) All this to teardrop down the community inside the states, destruct alliances, sow uncertainty," added the head of the MON. In the context of the statements of General Wiesław Kukuła, Head of the General Staff of the Polish Public Service, for the Polish Radio, in which he stated that we were surviving in pre-war times, the Deputy Prime Minister was asked if we were “five minutes before the invasion of Russia”. - No, I don't. This is neither a state of war nor a state of peace. This is the state between war and peace, where we have attacks, acts of diversion, we have disinformation on a gigantic scale on the internet, attempts to destruct critical infrastructure in Europe, we have created fresh migration routes, all part of a fresh kind of war," he said. He further assured that there was no problem with the circulation of information and both he and president Karol Nawrocki are kept informed of the most crucial information related to the case." ABW or SKW will analyse hypotheses about the camera mounted close damaged tracks on the Warsaw–Lublin route," said Kosiniak-Kamysz. In his opinion, it may have been about registering an detonation or preventing possible dismantling of an explosive.
