Where it stands

Poland says it thwarted an alleged Russian-orchestrated plot to execute a Ukrainian-American citizen in Warsaw, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk said a Russian citizen was detained in connection with it. The report does not describe further evidence, arrests or investigative steps, so the immediate investigation remains unresolved as of August 14, 2026.
