I spoke about the importance of our services being fully focused on eliminating hybrid threats, threats of subversion, and espionage; today we had another action by our services, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Wednesday.
On Saturday, Tusk appeared at a rally with voters in Pabianice (Łódź Voivodeship). During his speech, the Prime Minister announced that he had recently spoken with NATO's European chief of staff, General Alexus Grynkewich, about international security. ” I expected precise information, and I received it, namely that according to all assessments in NATO and the United States, Russia and China will be ready for a global confrontation as early as 2027, two years from now, ” the Prime Minister said at the time. He emphasized that “Poland and Europe, but Poland first and foremost, must be ready for various events over the next two years.”
On Wednesday, Tusk was asked to comment on these words during an interview with TVN24. The head of government emphasized that he “tries to be careful in describing the reality of today and tomorrow .”
Because 2027 is “tomorrow,” Tusk said. “But I would like everyone, without exception, to finally understand that we live in times of war right next door and in pre-war times, that is, before the war on a global scale,” the Prime Minister added. He emphasized that the global conflict “is currently emerging before our eyes.”
Tusk emphasized “the importance of fully concentrating our services on eliminating hybrid threats, threats of subversion, and espionage from Russia and Belarus in Poland.” He added that “today we had another action by our services” that prevented “further risks.” “I cannot speak publicly at this time,” the Prime Minister said, declining to provide further information on the matter.
– I am also talking about this to sober up some politicians , those radical ones on different sides of the political scene, so that they come to their senses, because we, as a Polish state, really need this kind of basic solidarity in terms of security – emphasized the head of government.
On Wednesday, Deputy Minister of Interior and Administration Czesław Mroczek, during an interview with RMF FM, addressed the entry into the Schengen Area of a 27-year-old Colombian man, who was commissioned by Russian intelligence and is believed to be behind two arson attacks in Poland. Mroczek said that Poland will most likely apply within the Schengen Area “for a waiver of visa-free travel for several countries.” Tusk was asked if this decision was related to acts of sabotage. “Yes, among other things,” the Prime Minister emphasized.
Tusk pointed out that residents of the former Soviet Union are most susceptible to recruitment by Russian and Belarusian services , but increasingly also people from South America. “We have a problem, which is a European problem, because they are currently coming to Poland not because we are letting them in, but because, for example, they land in Spain on a tourist visa. And once they are in Europe, in the Schengen area, well, we have a problem,” the prime minister said.
On Tuesday, the Internal Security Agency (ABW) announced that a 27-year-old Colombian man, acting on behalf of Russian intelligence, was responsible for two arson attacks in Poland in 2024. The incidents occurred on May 23, 2024, in Warsaw and a week later, on May 30, in Radom.
The Internal Security Agency reported that the Colombian was charged with acting for the benefit of foreign intelligence against the Republic of Poland and committing terrorist crimes.
She reported that a Colombian man was sentenced by a Czech court in June 2025 to eight years in prison for setting fire to a bus depot in Prague and planning to set fire to a shopping mall. The man pleaded guilty. According to a statement by the Czech Prime Minister, the Russian Federation's secret services were involved in the case. (PAP)
