Polish Police Investigate Possible Threat Against Prime Minister Donald Tusk

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Poland’s police announced on Sunday that they have received information regarding a potential plot to attack Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz. Security services, police, and representatives from the Interior Ministry are set to convene for an emergency meeting at 11 a.m. (0900 GMT) on Sunday to address the situation, according to Karolina Galecka, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry. In September, Tusk cautioned about the likelihood of increased hybrid attacks by Russia on NATO’s eastern flank, indicating that Russia may be planning drone or rocket strikes against European nations that support Ukraine, including Poland, with the intention of undermining Western backing for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. The Kremlin has denied such intentions. Further details regarding the reported plot have not been disclosed. Polish authorities are currently on high alert following three school attacks that occurred within four days in Mazovia province, where Warsaw is located.
