Russia dismissed Poland’s accusation that Moscow’s secret services were likely behind a sabotage attack on a rail line in the NATO ally, one that is key to supplying aid to neighboring Ukraine.

Andrei Ordash, Chargé d’Affaires of Russia in Poland, told Newsweek in a statement, originally in Russian, that the embassy in Warsaw “generally does not comment on the various absurd statements made by the Polish authorities, whose aim is to stoke Russophobia and war hysteria within Polish society.”

But Ordash added that “we would like to note that Russia currently faces far more important tasks (including developing ties with international partners who wish to do so) than carrying out any completely unnecessary unfriendly actions toward Poland, which for 12 years has systematically and deliberately been destroying its relations with our country.”
