Two Ukrainian nationals have been arrested in Poland on suspicion of espionage and sabotage on behalf of Russian intelligence services. The arrests were announced by Tomasz Siemoniak, the minister responsible for coordinating Poland’s intelligence services, IPN reports.

According to Poland’s Internal Security Agency, the two suspects, aged 24 and 25, allegedly photographed critical infrastructure and military facilities and set fire to vehicles. They are also alleged to have replaced the license plates on several cars with plates resembling those used by the Ukrainian military, in an effort to cast suspicion on Ukraine and spread disinformation.

The two have been remanded in custody for three months. If found guilty, they face sentences ranging from 10 years to life in prison.

Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Warsaw has repeatedly accused Moscow of orchestrating acts of sabotage. Last week, Polish authorities announced that six people—five Polish citizens and one Russian national—are under investigation for illegally supplying Russia with components used to manufacture ammunition and weapons. Against this backdrop, Tomasz Siemoniak said that nearly 100 people have been charged with espionage and sabotage since 2024. The Kremlin has denied allegations of Russian involvement in such activities on the territory of NATO member states.

Train drivers in Spain went on strike on Tuesday, demanding greater investment in railway infrastructure maintenance and measures to improve safety following two accidents that claimed 115 lives this year. The strike led to the cancellation of several services and major disruptions to rail transport in Madrid and Barcelona, IPN reports, citing Reuters.

According to state rail operator Renfe, the cancellation of medium- and long-distance services affected more than four thousand passengers. In Madrid, 90% of commuter train services were suspended, compared with 50% in Barcelona.

The train drivers’ union Semaf says talks with the authorities on improving rail safety began after the January accident, which killed 46 people, but broke off in April. The second accident occurred in late October on the Madrid–Seville high-speed line, resulting in 69 casualties. According to preliminary reports, the collision occurred after a controller authorised a train to depart following a signalling failure, even though another train was stationary on the same track.

In the wake of the two tragedies, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez last week appointed Deputy Prime Minister Carlos Cuerpo to temporarily head the Ministry of Transport following Oscar Puente’s resignation.

Also on Tuesday, the Spanish government approved a package of measures to improve rail safety. These include strengthening mechanisms for employees to report risks and giving staff greater authority to halt trains in dangerous situations.
