Poland’s deputy prime minister said he expects Russia to escalate its sabotage activities in the country following an explosion on a busy rail route to Ukraine for which authorities blame Moscow.

Krzysztof Gawkowski told Bloomberg News that the NATO member’s civilian population and critical infrastructure were at risk as the Kremlin intensifies efforts to deter Poles from supporting Ukraine.
