Donald Tusk says the Kremlin’s test-run explosives were intercepted at cargo depots in Britain, Germany and Poland
Russia has conducted acts of sabotage worldwide, including “acts of air terror” against airlines, the Polish prime minister Donald Tusk has claimed.
Security officials have said that parcels that exploded at logistics depots in Europe were part of a test run for a Russian plot to trigger explosions on cargo flights to the United States. The explosions occurred in depots in Britain, Germany and Poland in July.
Speaking at a press conference in Warsaw alongside Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, Mr Tusk said: “The latest information can confirm the validity of fears that Russia was planning acts of terrorism in the air not only against Poland.”
He did not say what acts he was referring to or elaborate on the contents of the information.
The Kremlin has dismissed previous Western claims that Russia sponsored acts of sabotage and attacks in Europe.
