Donald Tusk says ‘worse fears confirmed’ over damage on route used to ferry aid deliveries to Ukraine

In further comments after his visit to the site of the incident this morning, Poland’s prime minister Donald Tusk called it “an unprecedented act of sabotage aimed at the security of the Polish state and its citizens.”

“An investigation is under way. Just like in previous cases of this kind, we will catch the perpetrators, regardless of who their backers are,” he pledged.

Poland’s interior minister Marcin Kierwiński also just issued a brief update, saying “there is no doubt that we are dealing with an act of sabotage.”

“Another section of this strategic railway route, where the tracks were damaged, is also being investigated,” he said.
