Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski described the incident as a possible element of hybrid warfare. He said the circumstances of the fire suggest deliberate action, but Poland does not yet have evidence that would directly confirm Russia's involvement in the fire. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
