The Prime Minister of Poland added that among the accused are citizens of Ukraine, Belarus and Poland. In particular, Tusk mentioned a “high-profile incident” in Wroclaw, where an attempt to set fire to a paint factory, next to which there was a chemical plant, was stopped. According to Tusk, the arson “was ordered by Russian services.” “We are dealing with sabotage in Lithuania, the arson of an IKEA warehouse. The same people detained there may also be involved in attempts at sabotage, mainly arson, in Poland,” the Polish Prime Minister noted.
