Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X, “The man threatening an attack has been detained. Thank you to the police officers for their swift and decisive action.”
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński first announced the arrest about ten minutes before Tusk took to X.
Kierwiński said, “The man threatening an attack has been detained. Thank you to the police officers for their swift and decisive action.”
Polish police earlier said they had received information about a possible assassination plot targeting both Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
Jacek Dobrzyński, the security services spokesman, said, “We take this matter extremely seriously,” adding that authorities believed there was a “high probability” the threats would be carried out.
Tusk warned in September that Russia could intensify hybrid attacks against European countries supporting Ukraine. Moscow has rejected those allegations.
So far, Polish officials have not disclosed whether the man arrested was linked to any state actors.
Poland Holds Emergency Security Meeting Over Suspected Plot To Assassinate PM Tusk
Elevated security threats across Ukraine, Europe, and the Gulf are increasing global instability and the risk of conflict spilling across borders. A major concern is that simultaneous crises could reinforce one another and lead to a broader confrontation.
The latest development comes from NATO member Poland, which borders Ukraine, where security services are investigating a suspected plot to assassinate Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
