Polish officials announced the arrest of two Turkish citizens in Germany on Monday, a month after a fire destroyed a Starlink station’s power system in Masovia. Warsaw attributes the blaze to sabotage carried out on Russia’s behalf, claiming the attack aimed to disrupt internet services for Ukraine’s military. The suspects face charges in Poland for carrying out sabotage under foreign intelligence instructions. German police detained them on behalf of Polish services, though the exact location of their detention remains undisclosed. This incident follows a series of hybrid attacks that European Union officials say are part of a Russian campaign to erode support for Ukraine. The case is the latest in a string of incidents that officials across the European Union deem to be part of a Russian campaign of sabotage and hybrid attacks aimed at eroding support for Ukraine.
