Putin plotting terror attacks against AIRLINES in global wave of sabotage, warns Polish PM Tusk
TYRANT In a global wave of sabotage, Vladimir Putin has been charged with planning terror strikes against multinational airlines.
Donald Tusk, the prime minister of Poland, asserted that Russia engaged in “air terror” against Polish and foreign aircraft.
“I will not go into details, I can only confirm the validity of fears that Russia was planning acts of air terror, not only against Poland but against airlines worldwide,” Tusk stated during a press conference in Warsaw with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.
“These acts of sabotage are versions of the war that Russia has declared to the whole world, not just Ukraine.”
Numerous Western intelligence officers have recently connected the Kremlin to a number of flight disasters in Europe.
Western security authorities believe a scheme to place incendiary explosives in cargo planes bound for North America was orchestrated by Russian intelligence.

The Kremlin has denied earlier Western allegations that Russia funded attacks and sabotage in Europe.
When an Azerbaijani airplane crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day last year, killing 38 people, Azerbaijan accused Russia of accidentally shooting it down.
After the disaster, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed regret to his Azerbaijani colleague for what he described as a tragic event, but he did not admit Moscow was to blame.
In response to Poland and other Western nations’ backing for Ukraine, the Polish government has now claimed that Russia is waging a hybrid war against them.
In reaction to sabotage, including arson attacks, that he claimed were orchestrated by Moscow, Poland’s foreign minister last year ordered the closure of one of the three Russian consulates in the nation.
