Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday that Russia had planned “acts of terror” in air travel across the world, accusing Moscow of organizing sabotage and hijacking on Polish soil and beyond.
Tusk made the statement in the presence of the president of neighboring Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, who came to Poland for a series of talks, days before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump. Poland, a member of the EU and NATO, has been one of Ukraine’s main allies since Russia launched a war against kyiv in February 2022.
“Without going into detail, I can confirm the validity of the fears that Russia has planned acts of terror in the air, not only against Poland, but also against airlines around the world,” Tusk said during a joint press briefing with his Ukrainian guest. According to him, “acts of sabotage, different versions of the war that Russia has declared on the entire civilized world, and not only on Ukraine, require joint action.”
