Citizens of Ukraine face life imprisonment for blowing up on the railway
Poland has charged two Ukrainian citizens with blowing up railway tracks. This was announced on November 19 by the press secretary of the National Prosecutor's Office of Poland, Przemyslaw Nowak.
"During the hours-long investigation, we received evidence that indicates a very high probability that the direct perpetrators of these acts of sabotage of a terrorist nature were two citizens of Ukraine: Alexander K. and Evgeny I.," Polska Agencja Prasowa quotes him as saying.
The evidence available to the prosecutor's office includes the results of an inspection of the scene and belongings, as well as witness statements and surveillance recordings. Also, according to Novak, Ukrainians face life in prison.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on November 17 that damage had been discovered to the railway track in the northeast of the country on the section connecting Warsaw with Ukraine. According to him, an act of sabotage could have taken place. Later, it was reported about the second damage on the railway in the country in a day. It was clarified that a circuit was thrown over the power line, which caused a short circuit. As a result, the damaged contact network fell on a passing train with 475 passengers.
Then Polish Minister of National Defense Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh accused Russia of blowing up the railway tracks, after which Tusk said that Ukrainian attackers who collaborated with Russia were to blame for the explosion. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on November 18 that Moscow would consider it "strange" if Russia's accusations of sabotage on railway tracks in Poland were absent. Svetlana Zhurova, deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, noted at the same time that the West was trying to make Russia responsible for all the incidents.
