'Senseless attack': Ex UK PM Johnson narrowly misses Russian attack on Ukraine-Poland railway
"I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning," Johnson wrote, adding that civilians endure similar strikes every day.
On Sunday, a Russian drone attacked a passenger train near the Ukraine-Poland border, just 2 kilometers from Poland. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, along with other European diplomats, were on the same train en route from Kyiv. The train was evacuated upon the drone's approach, and no casualties were reported. Johnson condemned the senseless attack, stating he couldn't understand Putin's warped logic in targeting a stationary Ukrainian locomotive.
He urged for more air defenses and the unfreezing of Putin's cash for Ukraine. Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, along with Johnson and other European politicians, mentioned that their train was evacuated as the drone approached, but no one was hurt. Russia may have targeted the diplomatic train, which departed earlier than scheduled due to constant Russian strike threats.
The front line's stagnation has led both sides to intensify long-distance strikes to shift momentum in the war. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski described the escalating attacks on NATO's border as an escalation.
