Poland says 32 people detained and suspected of coordinating with Russia for sabotage

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday said authorities have detained 32 people suspected of coordinating with Russia to engage in acts of sabotage, according to Polish news agency PAP. One person has been convicted, while the others are in custody awaiting trial, PAP reported. The group includes a Pole, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, PAP reported, as well as a 27-year-old Colombian man who is accused of two arson attacks in Poland last year at Russia's behest. The Polish Internal Security Agency in a statement Tuesday said he faces up to 10 years to life in prison in connection with the arson attacks on two construction warehouses in May 2024. The suspect allegedly received his instructions, including how to make a Molotov cocktail to start the fires, from someone associated with Russian intelligence, the agency said. Other details about the suspects or the alleged sabotage were not immediately available.

Kremlin ‘Took Note' of Trump's Shortened Deadline for Peace in Ukraine

The Kremlin 'took note' of President Trump's accelerated deadline for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to make peace in Ukraine, but otherwise offered little reaction to the ultimatum. Mr. Trump said on Monday that he would give Russia about 10 to 12 days to end the war before implementing new financial penalties against Moscow. That was a reduced timeline from the 50 days he specified on July 14. Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, told reporters on Tuesday that he would like to avoid making any assessments about Mr. Trump's remarks. 'We took note of President Trump's statement yesterday,' he said. 'The Special Military Operation is ongoing, and we remain committed to the peace process to resolve the conflict around Ukraine and ensure our interests in the course of this settlement.' The 'Special Military Operation' is the Kremlin's chosen term for Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, now in its fourth year. Mr. Peskov also said that progress in resolving bilateral issues with the United States had now slowed. He said Russia remained interested in the process but said that to move forward, 'impulses are needed from both sides.' Russian negotiators met in Istanbul with Ukrainian counterparts last week for the third round of direct talks since Mr. Trump returned to the White House. The talks have made little progress toward ending the war. Critics have accused Mr. Putin of dragging out the process while his troops advance on the battlefield.

Russian Strikes Kill 22 in Ukraine After Trump Ultimatum

At least 22 Ukrainians have been killed and another 85 injured in Russian strikes across the country overnight, prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to call for 'very harsh, truly painful' sanctions on Russia. Moscow's latest barrage comes hours after President Donald Trump said that he would be reducing the time period in which Vladimir Putin has to reach a peace deal or face heavy tariffs. President Zelensky said that 73 cities and villages came under attack including the eastern city of Kamyanske, where a hospital was hit, killing a 23-year-old pregnant woman. He added that airstrikes began around midnight local time, with several Russian bombs dropped on a prison facility on the frontline in the Zaporizhzhia region, most of which is currently under Russian occupation. Ivan Federov, Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, said on Tuesday that 16 people were killed in the strikes calling it a 'blatant war crime.' 'The Russians could not have been unaware that they were targeting civilians in that facility. Many were killed, and another 43 people were wounded, some of them with very severe injuries,' Zelensky said on social media after the attacks. Russian attacks continued on Tuesday morning, with a drone strike leaving two utility company workers injured in the eastern city of Kostiantynivka. Serhiy Horbunov, head of the city's Military Administration, called it 'cynical aggression by Russian occupiers' against civilian infrastructure. Zelensky continued: "This was done after a completely clear position was voiced by the United States – a position supported by the world – that Russia must end this war and move to diplomacy,' he added. The Ukrainian President referenced Trump's updated deadline for Putin to reach a peace deal with Kyiv, which Zelensky says he welcomes. 'I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There's no reason they're [Russia] waiting. 50 days, I wanted to be generous but we just don't see any progress being made,' Trump told reporters as he sat down with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in Scotland on Monday. The President also confirmed that he would be enforcing secondary tariffs on Russia should a deal not come to fruition. Two weeks ago, Trump said that he would give Russia 50 days to reach such a deal, and failure to do so would result in 100% tariffs on Russia and any of its trading partners. Under the previous deadline, Moscow would have had until September 3rd, which has now been moved forward to between August 7-9. 'Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,' said Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev in response to Trump's comments on Monday. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina responded to Medvedev, saying: 'To those in Russia who believe that President Trump is not serious about ending the bloodbath between Russia and Ukraine: You and your customers will soon be sadly mistaken.' Medvedev then fired back, replying: 'It's not for you or Trump to dictate when to 'get at the peace table'. Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!' in the social media spat.
