EU diplomat says Russian strikes near Polish border sought to frighten Ukraine’s backers
The EU’s top diplomat said strikes reportedly hit a Warsaw-bound train near Ukraine’s border with Poland after senior Western figures had passed through the area.
The European Union’s top diplomat has said Russian strikes that reportedly hit a Warsaw-bound train near Ukraine’s border with Poland were intended to frighten Western supporters of Ukraine.
The assessment was reported by France 24 on Monday. The diplomat said the strikes occurred shortly after senior Western figures had passed through the area, portraying the action as an attempt to deter continued backing for Kyiv.
The available information does not establish whether the train itself was deliberately targeted. It also does not identify the precise location or timing of the incident, the train’s passengers or the Western figures mentioned.
No details have been provided about casualties or damage. The alleged intimidation motive remains the diplomat’s interpretation and has not been independently established in the source material.
The incident adds to the security concerns surrounding Russia’s war against Ukraine and the risks faced by countries and institutions supporting Kyiv.
