He accuses the Kremlin of having carried out sabotage attempts in Poland and other countries.

All I can say – and I won't go into details, but I can confirm the validity of these concerns – is that Russia has planned airborne terrorist operations and not just against Poland but against airlines worldwide, says Tusk, in connection with his meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj in Warsaw.

In several incidents last year, shipments sent via Poland, the UK, and Germany began to burn at airports or in storage facilities. Anonymous information from intelligence services made it clear that the suspicions were directed against Russia.

Reports in American media last autumn claimed that US authorities had uncovered Russian plans for airborne sabotage targeting the US. According to The New York Times sources, the smaller packages that caught fire at European airports were merely test balloons for a larger attack where an explosive charge could be placed on a passenger plane.

The US government is said to have issued a sharp warning to Russia, according to the newspaper.
