Poland says two Turkish nationals detained in Germany over Starlink station fire
- On Monday, authorities in Germany detained two Turkish citizens in connection with a fire at a Starlink station in Poland. Warsaw officials believe Russian services orchestrated the sabotage to disrupt internet access used by Ukraine's military.
- Elon Musk activated Starlink services over Ukraine in 2022 after Kyiv pleaded for help following Russia's full-scale invasion. The network became critical for Ukraine's military communications, making its power systems prime sabotage targets.
- Polish Special Services Minister Tomasz Siemoniak told a news conference Monday that Russian services are "increasingly turning to individuals linked to the criminal underworld." He stated, "We have no doubt that Russian services are behind this act of sabotage."
- Investigators identified the fire as an intentional act rather than accident, following broader warnings from officials in several countries in Europe regarding persistent Russian hybrid attacks aimed at undermining Ukraine support.
- Russia dismissed the accusations as "baseless" and the result of anti-Russian hysteria. The competing narratives underscore escalating tensions over critical infrastructure security across Europe amid ongoing Ukraine conflict.
