A Ukrainian detained in Poland found with 46 Russian passports: details of the case.

According to ТСН: A Ukrainian, one of four suspected of possible involvement in railway sabotage on behalf of Russian special services, was detained in Poland. 34-year-old Mykhailo K. was found with 46 Russian passports and other documents issued in the Russian Federation.

The detention occurred on November 18, but investigators did not find evidence confirming the involvement of the detainees in sabotage on Polish railways. As a result, most of them were released, except for Mykhailo K., who was charged with an offense not related to sabotage.

As of today, it is unknown whether the passports are genuine or forged, and whether Mykhailo had legal grounds for possessing them. The investigation is verifying the authenticity of the documents under various names and clarifying how the suspect obtained them.

The prosecution attempted to obtain a court order to detain Mykhailo K., but the court rejected this request, believing there was no risk of obstructing the investigation. Since the suspect does not have a permanent residence in Poland, the prosecution appealed this decision.

A spokesman for the minister-coordinator of special services, Jacek Dobrzynski, previously noted that several individuals were detained in connection with railway sabotage cases involving Ukrainians who may have collaborated with Russian special services.

Railway Sabotage

It is worth noting that railway sabotage incidents in Poland occurred on November 15 and 17. The first incident took place near the village of Zychin in the Masovian Voivodeship, where an explosion damaged the tracks, and another unexploded explosive device was found nearby. The second case occurred near the city of Pulawy, where the railway contact network was damaged.

The Polish prosecution has charged Oleksandr K. and Yevhenii I. with terrorist sabotage. They are accused of espionage, actions in favor of foreign intelligence services, creating a threat to transport security, and the use of explosives. The suspects face life imprisonment, and Poland has also requested Belarus for their extradition.

This situation underscores the seriousness of the threat posed by sabotage against critical infrastructure. The Polish authorities continue the investigation to ensure the safety of citizens and prevent similar incidents in the future. Such measures emphasize the importance of cooperation between countries in the fight against terrorism and organized crime.
