Developments on the Eastern Flank of NATO are taking on the character of an unprecedented flare-up, as Polish security forces launched a «special operation» on the border with the Russian region of Kaliningrad under the pretext of an alleged «sabotage threat», amid an attempt to incriminate Russia, as announced by the police chief of the country, Marek Boroń, according to a report by RIA Novosti on November 2.
«A headquarters for a special operation has been established at General Police Headquarters. It is being conducted in the voivodeships [regions] of Warmia-Masuria and Podlaskie by police forces in cooperation with the Armed Forces, the Border Guard, and the intelligence services (...). These measures are preventive in nature due to the risks in the border zone», he stated.
It is highlighted that Boroń cited certain reports received regarding allegedly planned provocations and acts of sabotage as a pretext for the special operation, without however providing any evidentiary proof for his statements.
Attempted distraction and incrimination of Russia for the unprecedented political crisis
Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski attempted to blame Russia for involvement in the political crisis that has shaken Warsaw in recent days.
It is noted that on October 29, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow does not threaten Europe and does not seek pretexts to start a war with it.
Putin also described discussions within the European Union regarding preparations for war with Russia as schizophrenic.
Unprecedented mobilization of Polish intelligence services around Kaliningrad
Specifically, from the early hours of November 2, Poland launched a special security operation along its border with the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, following warnings regarding the possibility of sabotage actions unfolding in the coming days.
According to the radio station RMF FM, citing anonymous sources, the Military Intelligence Service of Poland and other agencies had warned last week of possible sabotage acts, including border violations by armed groups.
Poland has launched a special security operation along its border with Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave after warnings that acts of sabotage could take place in the coming days. RMF FM, citing unnamed sources, reports that Poland’s Military Intelligence Service and other agencies warned last week of possible sabotage, including border violations by armed groups. Police, military, Border Guard and intelligence services are involved, and a Polish police official linked the operation to sabotage and activity by “eastern services.” Police have also been ordered to full readiness from November 2 to 8. No incident has been reported. This follows a rise in warnings from European officials about Russia’s hybrid warfare campaign. On October 1st, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Europe must be ready for regular Russian sabotage, arson and other hybrid attacks, and Danish and Lithuanian intelligence have warned of more to come. Estonia formally accused Russia of an August arson attack on a robotics company, and European officials have blamed Moscow for arson, assassination plots and drone incursions into NATO territory. Moscow’s role in many of these incidents has not been proven.

Participating in the operation are the police, the army, the Border Guard, and intelligence agencies, while an official of the Polish police linked the mobilization to potential sabotage and activities of «eastern services».
Concurrently, police forces have been ordered to remain in a state of full readiness from November 2 to November 8.
It should be noted that so far no incident has been reported that would justify the panic of Warsaw...
NATO fuels tensions and prepares the stage for a Great War against Russia
This development comes amid mounting warnings from European officials regarding the alleged hybrid warfare campaign attributed to Russia.
We recall, after all, that on October 1, the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, stated that Europe must be prepared for regular sabotage actions, arson, and other hybrid attacks from Russia, while intelligence agencies in Denmark and Lithuania have warned of the possibility of new corresponding actions.
Estonia officially accused Russia of an arson attack that took place in August against a robotics company, while European officials have blamed Moscow for arsons, assassination plots, and airspace violations of NATO member states by unmanned aerial vehicles.
However, the involvement of Moscow in many of these incidents has not been proven.
Tusk pushes the envelope in the attempt to overthrow Nawrocki
Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk appeared determined not to back down in the clash with President Karol Nawrocki during a televised address to the nation, amidst the unprecedented confrontation over control of the Constitutional Tribunal.
«We waited too long for this treasure, an independent and democratic Poland, to be frightened now and resign», he stated characteristically.
Tusk accused Nawrocki and his predecessor Andrzej Duda of contributing to the weakening of the rule of law, arguing that no politician, not even the President of the Republic, has the right to enter a court, give orders, and intimidate judges.
How the legal-political crisis peaked in Poland
The crisis escalated following the disputed suspension from duties of the President of the Constitutional Tribunal Bogdan Święczkowski, while Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek requested the lifting of his immunity.
Strong police forces were deployed around the Tribunal, where clashes broke out with demonstrators and three arrests were made.
Nawrocki rushed back from his visit to Senegal and returned to Warsaw, denouncing an attempt at a violent takeover of a constitutional institution.
The government insists that it is restoring judicial independence, while the conservative opposition speaks of a violation of constitutional order.
Poland now faces a deep institutional clash, with two rival political camps invoking legality and challenging the actions of the other side.
