Poland says it thwarted Russian plot to kill Ukrainian-US citizen in NATO country
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced authorities had foiled an 'unprecedented' Russian plot to kill a Ukrainian-US citizen inside a NATO country. Warsaw has repeatedly accused Moscow of sabotage since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Wednesday that security services had foiled a Russia-linked assassination plot targeting a Ukrainian-US citizen on the territory of a NATO member state, calling the scheme 'unprecedented.'
Poland, a NATO and EU member on the alliance's eastern flank, has repeatedly accused Moscow of sabotage on its soil since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Warsaw has become one of the most exposed frontline states in the standoff between Russia and the West.
Officials said the investigation remains ongoing and have not yet released details on the identities of those suspected of orchestrating the plot. The episode underscores how tensions between Russia and NATO are increasingly playing out on the intelligence and security front.
