WARSAW (Reuters) - The IT systems of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's Civic Platform party have been hit by a cyberattack, he said on Wednesday, amid growing concern that foreign actors may try to disrupt the country's elections this year.

Poland has been on high alert for foreign interference and sabotage ahead of a presidential election scheduled for May, as it says its role in helping Ukraine has made it a key target for Moscow's security services. Russia has dismissed that claim.
