Russia planned terrorist attacks on airlines around the world, says Polish Tusk – POLITICO

Tusk did not immediately elaborate on his remark about Russian terrorist attacks on aircraft.

Moscow has already been accused of sabotaging European transport infrastructure and jamming GPS signals by several countries as part of a hybrid war campaign led by Russian leader Vladimir Putin against the continent.

In April 2024, Czech Transport Minister Martin Kupka warned that Russia had carried out “thousands of attempts” to attack European railways since the start of Moscow’s full-scale war against Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the accusation “baseless.”

Most recently, Russia was accused of shooting down an Azerbaijani airliner that crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people. This incident echoes the destruction of the MH17 plane in 2014 over eastern Ukraine, in territory controlled by Russian-backed separatists, which killed 298 people.

Even though Putin apologized without taking responsibility for the Azerbaijani crash, Russia has never accepted responsibility for the MH17 disaster.
