Why It Matters
Russian troops are conducting operations on the territory of Ukraine, and Sunday's attacks covered the districts bordering Poland.
If I understand correctly, this is about the territory of Ukraine. Our military personnel are fulfilling their tasks throughout the entire territory of Ukraine and will continue to do so, said Dmitry Peskov, quoted by Russian state media cited by Reuters.
As the Ukrainian Railways Ukrzaliznytsia informed on Facebook, shortly before the Russian drones hit, there was a diplomatic train at the Yagodus border station, which was traveling, among others, security advisers of several EU countries and former European leaders, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Another train in the station at the time of the attack was David Petraeus, director of the CIA in 2011-2012.
According to a statement from the Ukrainian Air Force, in the attacks carried out on Sunday, the Russian army hit facilities in the western part of Ukraine, including the regions bordering with Poland.
On Sunday, during a special service briefing, Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized that the escalation of Russia's actions is becoming a fact, and examples of it are getting closer to our border.
Open Questions
- Were the trains carrying diplomats the direct target of the attack?
- What specific security measures will Poland take in response to the escalation?
