# Poland says it foiled Russian plot to kill American in Warsaw 2026-08-13T19:53:27+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Poland has disrupted a Russian plot to assassinate a US citizen in Warsaw, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Thursday. The suspect, arrested on August 7 on suspicion of being recruited by Russian intelligence, will be held for three months. Tusk said the target, a Ukrainian American, was 'uncomfortable for the Putin regime'. The operation was carried out with US help, according to intelligence minister Tomasz Siemoniak. Western officials, who have warned of a spike in Russian-ordered killings since the Ukraine war began, have linked about 200 acts of sabotage across Europe to Moscow. Previous cases include the 2006 Litvinenko poisoning in London and the 2018 Skripal attempted murder. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - timesnownews.com Tags: assassination plot, NATO, Poland, Russia, Ukraine war, US citizen Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/poland-says-it-foiled-russian-plot-to-kill-american-in-warsaw/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
