  "account": "Russland launched an attack near a Ukrainian-Polish border crossing on Sunday, according to Polish and Ukrainian authorities. The Dorohusk-Jahodyn border crossing was temporarily closed, approximately 800 meters from the Polish side, following the attack, a Polish border guard spokesperson told Reuters. Operations were later resumed, according to the \"Spiegel.\"\n\nWestern politicians, including Germany's Friedrich Merz's foreign policy advisor Günter Sautter, were affected by the incident. Sautter had traveled from Kiev to Poland by train on Saturday night. Western politicians often rely on the train connection from Poland to Ukraine due to a locked airspace over the country. A privately chartered train stopped near the Polish border around 5 a.m. after being hit by drone strikes in the border region, with some parts of the train evacuated, according to the report. Sautter discussed possible peace negotiations with Russia in Kiev alongside security advisors from Britain, France, Italy, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government. He attended the international security conference YES on Saturday, all of whom expressed fear. The German government only stated that they had no comment on the potential travels of the chancellor's foreign and security policy advisor. Russia attacked infrastructure in western Ukraine used for military transport from Europe, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Ukraine relies on trade and weapon deliveries through its borders with Poland, Romania, and Moldova. Russia has begun targeting Ukrainian border crossings with its western allies in recent weeks as part of a systematic attack to weaken the economic infrastructure of Ukraine, now in its fifth year of invasion. China and India offered to mediate in the conflict, with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi making proposals, according to the Russian state news agency Tass, citing Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskow at the BRICS summit in India. Poland accused Moscow of escalating the conflict following the attacks. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski wrote on X that Putin \"escalated.\" Prime Minister Donald Tusk convened a crisis team in the afternoon.
