Cold War II - Poland accuses Russia of "an act of state terror" with railway sabotage attack

Two Ukrainian citizens working for Russia are suspected of blowing up a railway line in Poland over the weekend, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Tuesday. On Wednesday, the row between the NATO member and Russia escalated, with Poland's top diplomat labeling the incident an "act of state terror."

Speaking to the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish parliament, Tusk said the two suspects had been collaborating with Russia's secret services for a long time. He said their identities were known but could not be revealed to the public because of ongoing investigations. The pair have already left Poland.

Tusk has described the explosion on a rail line linking Poland's capital, Warsaw, to the border with Ukraine as an "unprecedented act of sabotage."

On Wednesday, Poland's foreign minister said he would order the closure of the last Russian consulate still operating in the country as part of the country's response to the sabotage.
