Ewa Stankiewicz-Jørgensen asserts the Tu-154's repair in Samara was a key part of the assassination project.

The episode is an interview with Ewa Stankiewicz-Jørgensen on Radio Wnet. It begins with her recalling her involvement with the Solidarni 2010 protest movement, which set up a tent near the Presidential Palace in 2011 to demand truth about the Smolensk crash. The host asks if all secrets about Smolensk have been clarified. Stankiewicz-Jørgensen states the technical cause of the plane's disintegration is known, but many unknowns remain, particularly the decision chain leading to the assassination. She alleges the assassination project was implemented in 2008. A key claim is that internal emails show the presidential Tu-154 was diverted for repair in Samara, Russia, just days after a meeting between then-Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. She asserts this was long before any public tender, and that explosives were planted throughout the plane's structure during this repair, which required a lengthy disassembly. Stankiewicz-Jørgensen references an annex to a report by Antoni Macierewicz containing a letter from Minister Aleksander Grad to Minister Bogdan Klich. This letter warned that the Samara repair tender was illegal, unsafe, excluded Polish firms, and was the first time a Polish government plane would go to Samara. She notes no legal consequences followed this warning. She argues directing the plane to Samara, a military production facility with access to explosives, was itself a glaring violation and part of the assassination project. The interview broadens to allege a systemic breakdown of Polish state security at multiple levels, including at Warsaw's Okęcie military airport. Stankiewicz-Jørgensen specifically accuses Bronisław Komorowski of having an uninvestigated role, citing his hidden meetings with Russian officials before and after the crash, his post-crash appointments of military chiefs trained in Moscow, and steering Poland onto a pro-Russian course. When asked if she feels alone in these views, she says many in Poland see the situation but are afraid to speak out. She criticizes the Law and Justice (PiS) party's eight-year investigation for being ineffective and overly focused on technical aspects while failing to examine the political decision chain or improve state security mechanisms. The episode concludes with her emphasizing the ongoing fight for truth and the rule of law in Poland.
