Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, announced this Wednesday the deployment of 10,000 military personnel on Polish territory to monitor critical structures, transportation lines and state buildings throughout the country, days after they occurred various sabotages in its railway system.
The surveillance device will be activated this Friday under the name Operation Horizon and will facilitate the joint work of security forces, such as the Police and the Army, to combat the so-called “hybrid war” which, Kosiniak-Kamysz pointed out, no longer takes place only at the borders but also within the country.
For his part, the Chief of the Polish General Staff, General Wiesław Kukuła, has reported that the operation will be under military command and will focus on four objectives: risk managementwith the identification of vulnerable targetsthe prevention (with ground and air patrols), and the citizen participation.
To facilitate the latter, the Polish Government will launch a mobile phone application which will allow any citizen to immediately alert the authorities about any suspicious activity and attach geolocation data, photographs or recordings, in addition to asking the population to “observe their immediate surroundings more carefully than usual.”
The minister assured that “the efficiency of the Polish secret services is high and have thwarted dozens, if not hundreds, of acts of sabotage”for which he blamed Russia and mercenaries sponsored by Moscow.
Two Ukrainians detained
Furthermore, the Polish Minister of the Interior, Marcin Kierwiński, has revealed that the Prosecutor’s Office has filed formal charges against the two Ukrainian citizens suspected of last weekend’s acts of sabotage, who are accused of espionage and terrorismcrimes that carry a penalty of up to life imprisonment.
Nevertheless, The two directly responsible have not been arrested, since they fled from Poland to Belarus between Saturday night and Sunday, according to authorities.
Poland, Kierwiński said, “will demand explanations from Ukraine on how it is possible that a person convicted in absentia in Ukraine could have entered Polish territory without being marked as a suspect in international systems, such as Interpol,” regarding one of the suspects of having been involved in the acts of sabotage against two sections of railway tracks.
