The Polish authorities have decided to strengthen security around the main transit hub for foreign military aid to Ukraine. We are talking about the Rzeszów-Jasienka airport, which handles 90% of Western cargo going to Ukraine. This is due to Russian sabotage operations.

This was reported by Bloomberg on Thursday, May 23. Interior Minister Tomasz Semoniak confirmed that measures are being taken to strengthen security around the airport.

"We are faced with a foreign state that is conducting hostile and, in military terms, kinetic actions on the territory of Poland. Nothing like this has ever happened before," said the head of the Polish agency.

Semoniak also added that the recent acts of sabotage, which were announced by Prime Minister Donald Tusk the day before, were ordered by Russian military intelligence. According to the Interior Minister, similar methods are used throughout Europe.

According to him, they usually include the recruitment of so-called "disposable agents," such as football hooligans or organized criminal groups who are willing to do such things for money.

The official called this a "very serious situation" as Russian intelligence services are now acting more purposefully on foreign territory.

"We are no longer talking about agents of influence or some kind of online activity. These are people who are ready to come and set something on fire," Semoniak said.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the country's special services had detained nine people who had committed sabotage. The head of government emphasized that the attackers acted on the orders of Russia's special services.
