Poland blames Russian intelligence for arson attack on Warsaw shopping center last year

On May 12, 2024, a massive fire destroyed the Marywilska 44 shopping center in Warsaw, impacting 1,400 shops and service points.
Poland blamed Russian intelligence for organizing the arson, concluding after a year-long investigation that a person in Russia coordinated the attack.
The investigation involved 100 police officers, 55 prosecutors, 121 days of site inspections, and interviews with over 70 witnesses and 500 victims.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that the fire was deliberately set by Russian intelligence agents, and some individuals involved have already been apprehended.
The incident reflects a wider hybrid war by Russia aiming to destabilize supporters of Ukraine, with Polish authorities cooperating with Lithuania to hold perpetrators accountable.
