Polish PM Tusk said Warsaw stopped a Russian assassination plot on August 7 targeting a U.S.-Ukrainian citizen at the last minute.

Summary

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland stopped a Russian assassination plot on August 7.
The intended target was described as a U.S.-Ukrainian citizen.
Tusk said the operation was halted at the last minute before the hit could occur.
The case fits a pattern of Moscow targeting dissidents and dual nationals across NATO Europe.
Warsaw is a frontline hub for Ukraine support, making it a high-value arena for Russian sabotage and kill teams.

Russia does not only fight in Donbas. It sends kill teams to NATO cities when dissidents get too loud.

Protecting a U.S.-Ukrainian target in Poland is alliance defense, not a local police blotter item.

Expel the embassy spies, surge counterintel, and arm Ukraine faster. Moscow's answer to pressure is murder.

Is Warsaw now a Russian assassination lane?
