Poland Foils Russian Plot to Kill Ukrainian-American in Warsaw
Poland has prevented a Russian plot to assassinate a Ukrainian-American citizen in Warsaw, marking the first known attempt to target a U.S. citizen on NATO soil by Russian operatives. The suspect, allegedly recruited by Russian secret services, was detained on August 7. The operation involved cooperation between Polish and U.S. intelligence agencies. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the target as inconvenient for the Putin regime. Western officials note an increase in Russian covert actions against Ukraine's allies since the 2022 invasion.
