Russia responsible for Starlink sabotage, says Poland
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that German Police had arrested two suspects on behalf of Polish services and called the attack “another act of hybrid warfare” in a post on X.
Polish authorities implicated Russian intelligence services on October 12 for a September 23 arson attack on a Starlink ground station in Wola Krobowska, Masovian Voivodeship, according to sources. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the suspects, two Turkish citizens, had been detained in Germany on October 10, stating the attack was "another act of hybrid warfare."
Tomasz Siemoniak, coordinating Polish special services, firmly attributed the sabotage to Russia, noting the trend of Russia relying on criminal underworld individuals for attacks. Deputy Prime Minister and Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski suggested the fire aimed to disrupt Ukrainian forces' internet access. Polish authorities are also probing an alleged assassination plot against Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, with the Interior and Administration Ministry, State Protection Service, and Internal Security Agency meeting to tackle the matter seriously.
