Poland indicts Ukrainian man for assisting in rail sabotage on behalf of Russia
Prosecutors say Volodymyr B. helped Russian intelligence target rail infrastructure and faces charges that could bring a life sentence.
- Polish prosecutors filed an indictment on Thursday against Ukrainian citizen Volodymyr B. for assisting Russian intelligence in last year's rail sabotage, facing charges of espionage, sabotage, and transport accident risk with a potential life sentence.
- During fall 2025, attackers targeted the Warsaw-Lublin rail line using military-grade C4 explosives near Mika and GoB, which Prime Minister Donald Tusk identified as operations carried out on Russia's behalf.
- Prosecutors allege Volodymyr B. conducted reconnaissance, selected explosive sites, and installed recording devices for Yevhenii Ivanov, accusing him of "participating in the activities of Russian intelligence."
- While Volodymyr B. remains in custody, Yevhenii Ivanov and Oleksandr Kononov fled to Belarus immediately after the attacks, and Interpol has since issued red notices for both men.
- Russia's sabotage campaign targets countries supporting Ukraine to spread panic and anti-Ukrainian sentiment, with reports showing hate crimes against Ukrainians in Poland rose by over 30% in the first half of this year.
