Malyuk revealed that the plan at Rzeszow, considered in 2024, involved either an FPV drone or a sniper and was to be carried out by a retired Polish soldier recruited years ago.

Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak confirmed the plot was uncovered in April 2024 when Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) arrested a Polish citizen attempting to contact Russian intelligence. The suspect, identified as Pawel K., was charged on May 19, 2025.
