A Ukrainian man has been charged by Polish prosecutors for sabotage and spreading discord between Poland and Ukraine, allegedly on behalf of Russian intelligence.
Polish prosecutors have charged a Ukrainian man with sabotage and diversionary activities allegedly conducted on behalf of Russian intelligence. The man is accused of desecrating memorials honoring Polish victims of Ukrainian massacres in World War II to inflame Polish-Ukrainian tensions.
