Poland Blames Russian-Backed Ukrainians for Railway Sabotage
NY Times ^ | Nov 18, 2025 | Lara Jakes and Anatol Magdziarz

The Polish authorities accused two Ukrainians on Tuesday of working with Russia to sabotage train tracks, implicating Moscow in an attack that slightly damaged a crucial supply line from NATO countries to Ukraine on Saturday.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the attacks “perhaps the most dangerous situation for the security of the Polish state today since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine.” He raised the threat alert for certain critical rail lines to Poland’s second-highest level. Mr. Tusk told Parliament that the two Ukrainian men had been identified but that they fled into Belarus before they could be apprehended.

A Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, scoffed at the accusation that Russia had engineered the attacks.

“Russophobia, of course, blooms in splendor,” Mr. Peskov told a Russian state television reporter.

“But,” he said, “the very fact that once again citizens of Ukraine are in question in acts of sabotage and terrorism against critical infrastructure facilities is noteworthy.”

I guess they rejected the idea that maybe the Ukrainians have realized that as long as the west continues to pump weapons into the war, they will keep dying and the war won’t end until they are all dead or maimed.

They could very well be Russo-Ukrainians since Tusk said they fled into Belarus after dynamiting the tracks. They probably weren’t professionals because they bombed the tracks where it was easy to repair them, not a bridge or tunnel.

[...] maybe the Ukrainians Russians have realized that as long as the west Putin continues to pump weapons into the war, they (the Russians) will keep dying and the war won’t end until they are all dead or maimed.

All Putin has to do is end his invasion (which he shouldn't have launched in the first place), and the war would be over. Easy-peasy.

But noo-ooo!

Regards,

It takes 2 to tango and there was never any doubt the Ukraine would lose. There never was going to be an upside for the Ukrainians, their allotted role being cannon fodder for western interests.
