A Polish man has been arrested on allegations of being ready to help Russia’s military intelligence in an alleged plot to assassinate Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, prosecutors in Poland said Thursday.
The office of Poland’s National Prosecutor said in a statement that the man, identified only as Pawel K, was accused of being prepared to pass airport security information to Russian agents and that he was arrested in Poland on Wednesday.
The man was seeking contact with Russians directly involved in the war in Ukraine and was expected to pass on detailed information about the Rzeszow-Jasionka airport in south-eastern Poland, near the border with Ukraine.
The airport is the gateway for international military and humanitarian supplies for Ukraine and is under the control of U.S. troops.
If convicted, the man could face up to eight years in prison, the statement said.
