Poland Scrambles Military as Russian 'Shadow Fleet' Ship Threatens Baltic Power Cable

Poland's military intervened after detecting a Russian 'shadow fleet' vessel performing suspicious maneuvers near a critical power cable linking Poland and Sweden in the Baltic Sea. The ship, reportedly under international sanctions, raised concerns about potential sabotage or interference with vital infrastructure. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk highlighted the incident as part of a pattern of Russian provocations in the region since the Ukraine war began. The event underscores growing tensions and the vulnerability of European energy infrastructure to foreign threats. Authorities are investigating the incident and have increased security around key infrastructure.
