Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) says it has arrested two people accused of working for Polish intelligence and gathering information on military facilities in the western Kaliningrad region.
The arrests were reported by Interfax on Wednesday, 11 November, citing the FSB. Russian intelligence also said it had issued warnings to seven Polish citizens and three Russian nationals over alleged contacts with Polish security services.
Poland has dismissed the Russian statements without directly addressing the allegations.
Jacek Dobrzynski, a spokesperson for the minister responsible for special services, said he would not comment on claims published by Russian intelligence.
“On National Independence Day, I view them, in particular, as yet another provocation and an act of disinformation,” he wrote on X.
Poland marks its National Independence Day on 11 November.
Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) had earlier on 5 November announced the arrest of six individuals; five Polish nationals and a 37-year-old Russian woman.
The group are accused of allegedly working for Russian intelligence to illegally smuggle restricted military components, including ammunition casings and projectiles to Russia. Four of them have been charged and are currently in a three-month pretrial detention.
Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea, situated between Poland and Lithuania. Its strategic location has made it a sensitive point in relations between Moscow, the European Union and NATO.
The latest allegations come amid continued tensions between Russia and Western countries over security and intelligence activities in the region.
