Recently, a Russian agent operating in Poland was exposed, responsible for surveilling the country's military installations and seaports. Kaminski highlighted that this individual marked the 15th person to be apprehended within the scope of the ongoing investigation against the espionage network.

The initial arrests came to light back in mid-March. Following the dismantling of the network within the country, a heightened state of preparedness was implemented.
