'Senseless attack': Ex UK PM Johnson narrowly misses Russian attack on Ukraine-Poland railway
"I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning," Johnson wrote, adding that civilians endure similar strikes every day.
A Russian drone struck a passenger train on Ukraine's border with Poland on Sunday, shortly after former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other European diplomats had used the same railway line. The train, frequently used by foreign delegations returning from Kyiv, was attacked just two kilometers from the Polish border, though no casualties were reported. Johnson, who was returning from a security conference in Kyiv, condemned the attack as "random and senseless," stating, "I don't know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning." Ukraine's railway operator suggested the diplomatic train might have been the intended target, as its schedule was adjusted due to strike threats. The incident, which prompted the Polish Air Force to mobilize, is part of an intensified campaign of long-distance strikes by both Russia and Ukraine, with Russia increasingly targeting border crossings with Western allies.
