Polish claims of a thwarted "Russian plot" against the Ukrainian president are a warning sign, the senior official believes.
Allegations that a Polish man was plotting with Moscow to assassinate Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky are a sign that Kiev's Western backers want to "liquidate" the Ukrainian leader, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has claimed.
On Thursday, Polish officials reported the arrest of a man who is accused of trying to provide sensitive information to the Russian intelligence services. The information could have been used in an attempt to kill Zelensky, Warsaw and Kiev have claimed.
"An attempt on the life of the chief Banderite [Zelensky] in Poland? That is truly serious," Medvedev, who serves as deputy head of the Russian Security Council, wrote on social media on Friday in response to the claims.
"It may be the first piece of evidence that people in the West have made a decision to liquidate him. Be afraid, clown!"
The term 'Banderite' refers to the Ukrainian nationalist movement of Stepan Bandera, which was responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Poles during World War II. The Nazi collaborator is considered a national hero in modern Ukraine.
The Polish citizen, identified as Pawel K. by the National Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw, faces up to eight years in jail if convicted on charges of attempting to work with a foreign power against national interests.
Specifically, Pawel K. is accused of trying to share information with Moscow about Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport in southeastern Poland. The facility is used to ship weapons and munitions that NATO members donate to Ukraine to fight Russia.
