Poland’s national prosecutor’s office is investigating an alleged plot by the Russian military intelligence service (GRU) to introduce cans of food poisoned with explosives into the country. According to Polish media such as Gazeta Wyborcza and TVP Info, the operation would also involve Lithuania and Germany.
A Ukrainian citizen identified as Władysław D., linked to the GRU, allegedly transported the cans from a cemetery in Lithuania to Poland, where he left them near Łódź. In addition to the cans, components for drones were found, suggesting that the devices could have been used as aerial explosive ordnance.

The coordinator of the Polish special services, Tomasz Siemoniak, confirmed that the GRU was planning sabotage operations in Poland, Lithuania, and Germany using these devices. A military expert quoted by Gazeta Wyborcza warned that the amount of explosives involved could have caused serious damage and fatalities.
Although investigators have not specified the motive for the plot, it is speculated that Poland’s unconditional support for Ukraine during the Russian invasion could have been a triggering factor. Since 2022, Warsaw has provided Kiev with approximately 3,300
