Poland seeks extradition from Belarus of two Ukrainians accused of Russian-backed sabotage on Polish railways.
Poland has formally requested Belarus extradite two Ukrainian citizens, Yevhen I. (41) and Oleksandr K. (39), accused by Warsaw of conducting sabotage attacks on the Polish railway network. They allegedly coordinated sabotage acts including an attempted attack on a drone factory in Lviv and were linked to Russian intelligence and GRU officer Yuriy Sizov. Both men fled to Belarus via the Terespol border crossing before being identified. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated they operated on behalf of Russian structures and one was previously convicted of sabotage in Ukraine. Diplomatic efforts include summoning the Belarus chargé d’affaires and presenting a note demanding extradition. The sabotage incident involved placing a military-type explosive device and steel clamps on the Warsaw-Lublin railway line on 16 November, classified as terrorist sabotage by Polish prosecutors.
Confidence: High
The signal involves confirmed sabotage acts linked to Russian intelligence operatives, cross-border movement of suspects to Belarus to evade capture, and official accusations by the Polish government characterizing the acts as terrorism and sabotage on critical infrastructure.
