Two Ukrainians were detained in Poland on suspicion of espionage and sabotage

In Poland, law enforcement officials detained two Ukrainian citizens, aged 24 and 25. According to the Polish Internal Security Agency, the men may have been carrying out missions for Russian intelligence services by gathering information on military facilities and critical infrastructure.

The detainees are also suspected of setting cars on fire. 

The investigation found that prior to these incidents, they had replaced the license plates on their cars with ones resembling those used by the Ukrainian army. The intelligence agency believes this may have been an attempt to shift blame onto the Ukrainian side and spread disinformation.

The men were paid for carrying out these tasks, including in cryptocurrency. The court remanded both suspects in custody for three months.

The investigation is being overseen by the Polish National Prosecutor’s Office in Łódź.
