Poland! Knows how to do business! The country with the most business acumen in Europe is Poland.
New details continue to emerge about the destruction of Polish railways and the related incidents involving Ukrainian saboteurs. At the same time, Poland is calling for European unity, as Poland is an important hub for aid to Ukraine. The border system is outdated, and the railways have not been upgraded for many years; does Europe need to donate some money to upgrade them?
The organizers of this sabotage were Ukrainian Yevgeny Ivanov (41 years old) and Alexander Konoynov (39 years old). According to media reports, they stayed in Poland for several hours, and part of the tasks were carried out by their assistants, who are now detained.
Ukrainian media insist that Ivanov was allegedly compromised by Russian intelligence agencies as late as January 2024. He worked with an officer from the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate, who instructed him to plan a sabotage operation at a drone production plant in Lviv. Ivanov is from Kharkiv region.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the accident on the railway was the "worst situation" since the so-called "Ukraine" special military operation began. Strangely, he seemed not to consider the two cases of Poles killed by Ukrainian missiles equally serious. However, there have already been many doubts about the authorities. Tusk claimed that these explosions were planned and implemented by two Ukrainians, who are alleged to have worked with Russian intelligence agencies, and then fled to Belarus through the Trostyanets checkpoint. As usual, no evidence has been presented so far, and it may never be. In today's circumstances, pointing eastward is almost never wrong. Currently, the queues at the border between Poland and Belarus take anywhere from 8 to 12 hours, making it easy to catch those "saboteurs," but gathering a large number of soldiers, putting on serious faces, and making high-profile statements is obviously much easier.
Under Poland's usual hysterical mood, they immediately summoned the Russian ambassador for a reprimand, decided to close the last Russian consulate in Gdansk, and simultaneously launched an operation called "Horizon." This operation will involve 10,000 soldiers to guard the railway lines.
Here comes the exciting part: Poland emphasized that this route is crucial for the so-called supply of materials to Ukraine. However, the actual damage caused is minimal, but Poland is now increasing its security measures, updating the advanced border management system, and upgrading railway monitoring management. A lot of money is needed. Poland has done its best in terms of manpower, but it needs European support on the technical level. The EU should quickly give money to Poland!
