telligence in an alleged plot to assassinate Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Polish prosecutors said Thursday.
The office of Poland’s National Prosecutor said in a statement that the man, identified only as Pawel K, was accused of being prepared to pass airport security information to Russian agents and that he was arrested in Poland on Wednesday.
The man was seeking contact with Russians directly involved in the war in Ukraine, and was expected to pass on detailed information about the Rzeszow-Jasionka airport in south-eastern Poland, near the border with Ukraine.
The airport is the gateway for international military and humanitarian supplies for Ukraine.
The airport is under the control of US troops.
If convicted, the man could face up to eight years in prison, the statement said.
The prosecutors said the arrest is the result of close co-operation with the prosecutors and security services of Ukraine, who tipped them off and who provided crucial evidence. The case is developing, they said.
European Union member Poland has been a staunch supporter of neighbouring Ukraine and Mr Zelenskiy in fending off Russia’s aggression for more than two years.
