Poland 's prime minister said Thursday authorities arrested a Russian citizen who was allegedly recruited by Russia's secret services, thwarting his plan to kill a Ukrainian American citizen in Warsaw .
It was the first time that “someone on the order of Russia” sought to attack an American citizen on the territory of another NATO country, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.
The American-Ukrainian citizen “was uncomfortable for the Putin regime,” Tusk said in a press conference.
The Russian citizen was taken into custody by Polish authorities on Aug. 7, Polish officials said.
The operation was carried out in cooperation with U.S. services, said Tomasz Siemoniak, Poland's minister coordinating secret services. He said the targeted victim was a U.S. citizen "of Ukrainian origin". Officials did not immediately provide more details about the case.
