Is Russia’s Hybrid War on Europe Becoming Conventional?

SŁAWOMIR SIERAKOWSKI

From arson attacks on civilian targets to the recent bombing of a rail line between Warsaw and Ukraine, Russian provocations inside Poland are intensifying. By stoking anti-Ukrainian and anti-EU sentiment, the Kremlin hopes to empower the "useful idiots" of the Polish populist right.

WARSAW – On November 14, two operatives tried to sabotage the railway line running from Warsaw into Ukraine. An explosion destroyed a section of track near the village of Mika, while another incident damaged power lines near Gołąb station, forcing a train carrying 475 passengers to make an emergency stop. Had it not been for the driver’s quick reaction, there would have been fatalities.
