"Moscow is accused of running sabotage and espionage operations across Europe, targeting nations supporting Ukraine. Authorities in Poland have arrested eight individuals across the country on suspicion of espionage and sabotage. In a brief statement on social media, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday that the case is developing and that further operational activities are ongoing without providing further details."
"Referring to the prime minister's post, the coordinator of Poland's special services, Tomasz Siemoniak, said that the detained people are suspected of engaging in espionage and planning attacks. They were arrested due to conducting reconnaissance of military facilities and critical infrastructure, preparing resources for sabotage, and directly carrying out attacks, he said. While Warsaw has not directly linked the arrests, officials have said previously that Poland has been targeted with such attacks in a hybrid war waged by Russia to destabilise nations supporting Ukraine."
Eight individuals in Poland were arrested on suspicion of espionage and sabotage amid accusations of a Russian network operating spies and saboteurs across Europe. Authorities said detainees carried out reconnaissance of military facilities and critical infrastructure, prepared resources for sabotage, and directly carried out attacks. Officials described the actions as part of a hybrid war waged by Russia to destabilise nations supporting Ukraine. Several European countries reported similar incidents since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Polish authorities have detained dozens over the past three years. Moscow denies the accusations, calling them Russophobia.
