Poland and Ukraine have accused Russia of “escalation” following Russian strikes on a train close to the two countries’ border.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and ex-US CIA director David Petraeus were at a border train station nearby around the time the train was hit, Ukraine’s rail operator said Sunday.
Poland and Ukraine said a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train was struck just two kilometres (1.2 miles) from the Polish border, but there were no reported casualties.
“This was just a few hundred meters from the Polish border; this affects the safety of my countrymen,” Sikorski said.
