Ukraine war: Russian attack near Ukrainian border crossing to Poland - Western politicians concerned
Among the diplomats is an advisor to the Federal Chancellor. No one is injured - but Poland is concerned. "Putin is escalating," warns Foreign Minister Sikorski.
Russia has attacked a truck near the Ukrainian-Polish border, Polish and Ukrainian authorities reported. The Dorohusk-Jahodyn border crossing was temporarily closed after the attack, but operations resumed later. The attack occurred as a privately chartered train carrying western diplomats, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's foreign policy advisor Günter Sautter, was stopped near the Polish border.
The train was headed to Poland from Kyiv, and parts of it were evacuated due to drone strikes in the region. Russia's defence ministry said it had targeted infrastructure used for military transports from Europe in western Ukraine.
