The Russian ambassador criticized Poland for unsubstantiated accusations of sabotage by the Russian Federation

Moscow is not interested in organizing sabotage on the railway in Poland. This was stated on November 19 by Charge d'affaires of the Russian Federation in Poland Andrei Ordash on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

"Russia really does not need this at all, we are not interested in it. <...> We have many other more important things to do, including developing relations with constructively minded states. Poland has not been among these states for a long time," the diplomat stressed.

According to Ordash, the Polish side traditionally makes unsubstantiated accusations against Moscow without providing evidence. He drew attention to the fact that all those suspected of acts of sabotage on the territory of Poland are citizens of Ukraine.

The diplomat stated that Russophobic sentiments continue to grow in Poland, accompanied by "military hysteria." The Polish authorities, he said, a priori consider Russia to be responsible for any incidents, without bothering to conduct investigations.

Ordash added that his arguments are not understood by the Polish side, which continues to adhere to accusatory rhetoric against Russia.

Nationalist sentiments are growing in the country

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. During it, 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 the Minister of National Defense of Poland, Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh, accused Russia of undermining the railway tracks. After that, Tusk clarified that Ukrainian attackers who collaborated with Russia were to blame for the explosion. At the same time, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, during a press conference in Brussels, suggested waiting for the investigation into the causes of the explosion on the railway route to be completed. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on November 18 that Moscow would consider it "strange" if Russia's accusations of sabotage on railway tracks in Poland were absent.
