波兰总理周四表示，波兰挫败了一起俄罗斯针对一名乌裔美国公民在华沙实施的暗杀阴谋，这是数十年来首次有西方领导人公开指责莫斯科策划杀害美国公民。
此前已有西方官员警告称，自弗拉基米尔·普京总统2022年发动对乌克兰的入侵以来，俄罗斯加大了定点清除行动的力度，并称他们已在欧洲多地挫败了多起阴谋。但波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克表示，此次事件史无前例。
图斯克对记者表示，这名据称受俄罗斯情报部门招募的嫌疑人已于上周五，即8月7日被捕。
“他从普京政权的角度来看是个麻烦人物，而在最后关头……我们成功阻止了这场暗杀，”他补充道。
“这是首次出现有人奉俄罗斯之命，在另一个北约国家领土上针对美国公民发动袭击的情况，”他补充说。

这位乌裔美国公民“让普京政权感到不快”，图斯克在新闻发布会上表示。“我们必须认定，普京政权会试图消灭那些因各种原因令其感到麻烦的人。”
负责情报部门的波兰部长托马斯兹·西莫尼亚克表示，挫败该阴谋的行动是与美国情报部门合作开展的。他称目标受害者是一名“乌克兰裔美国公民”。官员们未立即提供更多细节。
俄罗斯外交部未立即回应置评请求。
俄罗斯被指企图破坏乌克兰盟友
长期以来，俄罗斯一直被指控在海外针对其敌人发动袭击，包括使用罕见毒物。但情报官员此前告诉美联社，俄罗斯安全部门如今在目标选择上更为肆无忌惮，不仅针对俄罗斯活动人士和乌克兰的外国支持者，还针对变节的军方人员。
西方官员认为，这场行动与俄罗斯为破坏支持乌克兰的欧洲国家所做的 broader 努力有关。自俄乌战争爆发以来，美联社已统计出欧洲各地约200起官员认为与俄罗斯有关的破坏、纵火及其他扰乱行动。普京在5月曾表示，俄罗斯并未对欧洲发动破坏行动。
英国当局指控俄罗斯于2006年在伦敦使用放射性钋杀害前联邦安全局官员亚历山大·利特维年科，并于2018年在索尔兹伯里用诺维乔克神经毒剂企图杀害前俄军情报官员谢尔盖·斯克里帕尔。
德国当局还指出，俄罗斯策划了2019年杀害泽利姆汗·汉戈什维利的案件。这名前车臣反叛指挥官在柏林公园遭瓦季姆·克拉西科夫枪击身亡，后者随后在间谍交换中获释并受到普京接见。
今年6月，一名批评普京的俄罗斯艺术家在波兰东部自家附近近距离遭枪击身亡。以笔名谢苗·斯克雷佩茨基为人所知的罗伯特·库佐夫科夫一贯批评普京，图斯克当时曾表示，这起谋杀带有政治暗杀的特征。他暗示俄罗斯可能是幕后黑手，但波兰官员尚未将此案归咎于莫斯科。
去年，法国官员挫败了一起据称旨在暗杀弗拉基米尔·奥谢奇金的阴谋。奥谢奇金是一名俄罗斯流亡者，接受警方保护，致力于帮助变节的军方人员逃离普京的战争。立陶宛官员去年也挫败了一起针对一名乌克兰支持者的暗杀阴谋，以及另一起针对俄罗斯活动人士的阴谋。德国官员同样破获了两起阴谋：一起针对向乌克兰提供武器的德国公司负责人，另一起针对一名乌克兰军方官员。
波兰当局2024年逮捕了一名男子，称其涉嫌密谋暗杀乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。同年，一名变节的俄罗斯直升机飞行员在西班牙遭杀害，俄罗斯特工被列为主要嫌疑人。
“这场行动并非偶然或巧合，”一名欧洲高级情报官员此前对美联社表示。“这是得到政治授权的。”

Russian plot to kill American citizen thwarted by Poland, prime minister says: “First situation of its kind”
August 13, 2026 / 12:52 PM EDT / CBS/AP
A Russian plot to kill a Ukrainian-American citizen in Warsaw was thwarted by Poland before it could be carried out, the Polish prime minister said Thursday, marking the first time in decades that a Western leader has publicly accused Moscow of plotting to kill a U.S. citizen.
Western officials have previously warned that Russia has stepped up a campaign of targeted killings since President Vladimir Putin launched the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, saying they have disrupted several plots across Europe. But Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this incident was unprecedented.
Tusk told journalists the suspect, who was allegedly recruited by Russia’s secret services, had been arrested last Friday, Aug. 7.
“He was inconvenient from the point of view of the Putin regime, and at the last moment… we managed to prevent this execution,” he added.
“This is the first situation of its kind in which someone, acting on Russian orders, decided to carry out an attack against an American citizen on the territory of another NATO country,” he added.
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, Tusk said Thursday.

The American Ukrainian citizen “was uncomfortable for the Putin regime,” Tusk said in a news conference. “We have to accept the assumption that the Putin regime will try to eliminate people who are inconvenient for various reasons.”
The operation to disrupt the plot was carried out in cooperation with U.S. services, said Tomasz Siemoniak, Poland’s minister overseeing intelligence services. He said the targeted victim was a U.S. citizen “of Ukrainian origin.” Officials did not immediately provide further details.
The Russian Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Russia accused of trying to undermine Ukraine’s allies
Russia has long been accused of targeting its enemies abroad, including by using rare poisons. But intelligence officials previously told The Associated Press that Russia’s security services are now more brazen in their choice of targets, going after Russian activists and foreign supporters of Ukraine as well as military defectors.
Western officials see the campaign as connected to Russia’s broader efforts to undermine European countries that support Ukraine. The AP has mapped about 200 acts of sabotage, arson and other disruption across Europe since the start of the war that officials have linked to Russia. Putin said in May that Russia is not waging a sabotage campaign against Europe.
British authorities accused Russia of being behind the killing of former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006 with radioactive polonium and of attempting to kill former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018 with the nerve agent Novichok.
German authorities also said Russia organized the 2019 killing of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, a former Chechen rebel commander who was shot in a Berlin park by Vadim Krasikov, a hitman who was later greeted by Putin after he was exchanged in a spy swap.
In June, a Russian artist who was critical of Putin was shot and killed at close range near his home in eastern Poland. Robert Kuzovkov, known by the pseudonym Semyon Skrepetsky was critical of Putin and Tusk said at the time that the killing had the hallmarks of a political assassination. He suggested it was possible Russia was behind it but Polish officials have not yet attributed it to Moscow.
Last year French officials disrupted a plot which they believe was aimed at killing Vladimir Osechkin, a Russian exile who lives under police protection and works to help military defectors flee Putin’s war. Lithuanian officials also disrupted a plot last year to kill a Lithuanian supporter of Ukraine and another against a Russian activist. Officials in Germany have similarly broken up two plots: one to target the head of a German weapons company supplying Ukraine, the other against a Ukrainian military official.
Polish authorities arrested a man in 2024 in what they said was a plot to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. And that same year, a Russian helicopter pilot who defected was killed in Spain – with Russian operatives the prime suspects.
“This campaign is not by accident or chance,” a senior European intelligence official previously told the AP. “There is political authorization.”
