Poland railway explosion: Officials hint at Russia, but Moscow pushes back

Jacek Dobrzyński, spokesperson for Poland’s Minister-Coordinator of Special Services, has stated that Russia was behind the railway explosions in Poland.

“Everything indicates' Russian intelligence commissioned rail sabotage incidents in Poland, government spokesperson says, Caliber.Az reports, citing The Guardian.

In a further confirmation of the inquiry lines in Poland, the Polish security services minister’s spokesperson Jacek Dobrzyński has just confirmed that “everything indicates” that Russian intelligence services were behind the rail sabotage incidents in Poland over the weekend.

“The fact is that everything indicates that this ... we can already confidently call it a terrorist attack, was initiated by special services from the East,” he later added.

But he insisted that the investigation into the two incidents needed to be kept confidential at this stage to ensure it can be effective.

“I cannot say what stage the officers are [at] or [what they are] currently working on and what threads they are connecting or what threads they are analysing. The Russian services would very much want to have this information: where our officers are or in which direction they are heading,” he said.

However, the Russian side rejected the Polish accusations, deeming them unfounded.

Andrei Kartapolov, head of the State Duma Defense Committee, stated in an interview with the Telegram channel "Ostorozhno, Novosti" that Polish intelligence has no evidence for this claim.

"Polish intelligence, along with the Polish government, lives by the most outstanding teachings of Dr. Goebbels: the more terrible the lie, the easier it is to believe," the MP said.

He adds Warsaw can say whatever it wants, but "they have no evidence and never will have any, because it's a lie."
