Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk today accused Russia of state terrorism in Poland and assessed that with the latest sabotage on the Lublin-Warsaw railway, for which it hired two Ukrainians, in the escalation of hybrid war, it has crossed a critical line.
"Sabotages inspired or directly organized by Kremlin services have now crossed a critical line. Today we can already talk about state terrorism," the prime minister said in an extraordinary address to members of the Sejm, the Polish parliament.
Tusk also said that the Polish nationalist opposition, which in recent years has been inciting anti-Ukrainian sentiment due to the lack of migrants from Asia and Africa, sees the enemy primarily in Brussels and Berlin, and that this is exactly what Moscow wants.
"Russia wants to weaken us at all costs because today Poland is too strong to attack it directly. Moscow's strategy is visible. According to it, we should quarrel with Europe, quarrel with Ukraine and, most importantly, with each other. We must not allow such a scenario, not even a part of it," said Tusk.
The Polish Prime Minister made a dramatic appeal to opposition MPs.
"Get wise while there is time," he told them.
"What is foolishness, error or sin in peacetime becomes treason in wartime. For every Polish politician who is not a traitor, I have five simple principles," Tusk said.
Tusk specified the "five commandments". The first is: do not repeat the lies of Russian propaganda. The second: do not undermine trust in the Polish army, security services and do not obstruct their work. He also listed the commandments; do not weaken the state by sabotaging laws and massively using the veto, Russia has always loved that; do not undermine European unity - support a strong West, not a strong Russia; stand by Ukraine in its war against Russia without any "buts".
"Remember that in times of war there are no buts. You are simply for Poland or against it. When it comes to national security threatened by threats from Russia, we will either be united or we will not be. I cannot put it more simply," Tusk said.
The Polish prime minister previously said that by hiring two Ukrainians last weekend to blow up the tracks on the Warsaw-Lublin railway and then damage the power lines next to the tracks, which fortunately caused the train driver to stop the train with almost 500 passengers in time, Russia had crossed a critical line. He assessed that its sabotage this time was calculated directly on human casualties.
