Poland arrests man over alleged plot to assassinate Ukrainian arms industry official
The device failed to detonate, and prosecutors say he faces attempted murder and explosives charges after fleeing to Warsaw.
- On Thursday, the Internal Security Agency arrested a Ukrainian man identified as Serhii P. for attempting to assassinate a representative of Ukraine's arms industry on behalf of Russian intelligence services, prosecutors said.
- After the failed attempt, Serhii fled to Warsaw where he was arrested. ABW stated, "The investigation revealed that Serhii P. planted an improvised explosive device" that failed to detonate due to malfunction.
- Facing charges of attempted murder and illegal explosives possession, Serhii faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison or life imprisonment, prosecutors confirmed following his arrest for the plot in Irpin.
- ABW noted that "Russian intelligence services conduct operations that transcend national borders," while Western nations and Ukraine have long accused Russia of recruiting agents for sabotage and espionage.
- Earlier this month, Polish authorities arrested a Russian citizen accused of plotting to kill a Ukrainian-American in Warsaw; Russia denies the allegations, though the incidents highlight ongoing security concerns regarding external plots targeting individuals in Poland.
