  "account": "Polish authorities announced the arrest of two Turkish nationals in Germany, suspected of setting a fire at a Starlink station located in Masovia, Poland. Starlink provides internet services via satellite and is heavily utilized by Ukraine's military during the Russian invasion. Recent warnings from EU nations suggest a surge in Russian cyber and hybrid attacks against Europe, either to undermine Ukraine's support or to directly impact the country. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski disclosed the arrests on Monday, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirming the news shortly afterward. German police apprehended the men on behalf of Polish services, indicating these actions constitute \"another act of hybrid warfare.\" Polish officials claim Russia is responsible, alleging that Russian services are increasingly resorting to individuals connected to criminal elements for such attacks. Poland's Special Services Minister Tomasz Siemoniak stated, \"it is worth adding that Russian services are increasingly turning to individuals linked to the criminal underworld for such attacks.\" Russia has refuted such claims, dismissing them as hysteria or disinformation.",
  "summary": "Polish authorities have reported the arrests of two Turkish citizens in Germany in connection with alleged sabotage of a Starlink station last month. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the fire an act of \"hybrid warfare.\"",
