Details: Dobrzyński said that everything currently indicates that the "terrorist act" on Polish railway tracks was initiated by "secret services from the East".

He noted that the investigation is ongoing. "Officers are doing everything possible to clarify this case. I cannot say what trail they are following. Russian services are very eager to know in which direction our officers are heading," the spokesperson said.

Dobrzyński believes that Russian services aim to destabilise Polish society and intimidate it.

Quote: "They will certainly try to exploit this. Russian services want to destabilise Poland and the European Union, to create a rift between us and Ukraine, and to generate a negative atmosphere. We must not allow ourselves to be drawn into these actions of the Russian services."

Background:

• On the morning of 17 November, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the incident on the Warsaw-Lublin railway line, where a track was blown up, was considered a deliberate act of sabotage.
• The Warsaw-Lublin section is strategically important for delivering assistance to Ukraine. Another incident occurred on the same stretch of track, though it has not yet been deemed sabotage.
• Poland later decided to deploy Territorial Defence Forces to patrol key parts of critical railway infrastructure in the east of the country.
• On the night of 17-18 November, rail traffic on the damaged line was restored.
• Later, Polish media reported that the explosion on the tracks may have been triggered using mobile phones.
