“The intensive work of the secret services and the police made it possible to identify the persons responsible for the sabotage. In both cases, we are sure that these were intentional acts and their goal was to lead to a disaster in rail transport. The identified persons are two citizens of Ukraine who have been cooperating with the Russian secret services for a long time,” said Tusk.
“We found out the identity and we have pictures of the perpetrators,” Tuska is quoted as saying by Gazeta Wyborcza.
According to him, immediately after the sabotage, the suspects left Poland through the crossing in Terespol on the border with Belarus, from where they got to Poland. This happened even before it was possible to find out their identity, the Prime Minister said.
In the past, one was convicted in Lviv for sabotage committed in Ukraine, the other suspect comes from the Donbas in the east of Ukraine. He did not mention the names of the suspected prime ministers, referring to ongoing operations.
