Polish authorities are preparing to request the extradition of two Ukrainian nationals suspected of sabotaging railway tracks leading toward the Ukrainian border. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the decision while addressing lawmakers in the Sejm.

The incident occurred on 16 November, when police in the Mazowieckie region reported damage to a section of the railway. A day later, Tusk said the line had been compromised by an explosive device. By Tuesday, 18 November, Polish investigators concluded that two Ukrainian citizens were allegedly linked to the sabotage.

Tusk noted that he had instructed the foreign minister to launch immediate diplomatic steps aimed at securing the suspects’ transfer to Poland. He added that Warsaw planned to employ additional measures to identify and detain everyone involved.

Commenting on reports that Ukrainians may have been behind the attack, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Warsaw had «lost its bearings» and risked facing serious consequences. He pointed out that the mere fact that Ukrainian citizens again appeared at the center of such an incident was significant.
