Poland fears Ukraine war could spill over
In Poland, a close ally of neighbouring Ukraine, concerns are growing that the war could spill across the border. Our next report comes from Suwałki, a city in a region bordering Russia and Belarus that is considered particularly sensitive for NATO countries. Caitlin Brown reports.
Poland, a close ally of Ukraine, is concerned that the war could spill across its border. The city of Suwałki, which borders Russia and Belarus, is considered a sensitive region for NATO countries.
A Russian drone recently struck a passenger train near the Polish border, specifically targeting the locomotive of a Kyiv–Warsaw train just 2 kilometers from the border. According to Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Heorhii Tykhyi, Russia's goal is to disrupt logistics, including passenger traffic and the movement of goods, and to weaken Ukraine's economy.
Ukraine relies heavily on its railway network, which has been a target of Russian attacks throughout the invasion. The intensity of these attacks has increased, with Ukraine's railway company, Ukrzaliznytsia, detecting the threat of the recent drone strike early enough to evacuate the crew.
