Why It Matters
The investigation concerns a series of events on railway line No. 7 in the fall of 2025, including the planting of explosives and metal elements on the tracks.
According to the National Prosecutor's Office, the prosecutor from the Masovian PK branch filed the above-mentioned indictment on October 28.
The investigation concerns a diversion on railway line No. 7. It was supposed to take place in the fall of 2025 in the towns of Mika in the Garwoliński poviat and Gołąb in the Puławy poviat.
According to investigators, Volodymyr B. supported two other Ukrainian citizens - Oleksandr K. and Yevhenii I.
Help in reconnaissance of the area
According to the evidence, in September 2025, Volodymyr B. was supposed to take Yevheniia I. to the vicinity of the towns of Mika and Gołąb. According to the prosecutor's office, this enabled the reconnaissance of the area, the selection of the place to plant the explosives, as well as the location for installing the image recording device and the metal element on the tracks.
Investigators believe that Volodymyr B.'s role was to provide logistical support for preparations for actions against railway line No. 7.
