In Poland, 32 individuals suspected of cooperating with Russian intelligence services have already been detained. There will be no mercy for enemy agents, states Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, according to RMF24.
According to the head of the Polish government, among those detained are Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, as well as a Colombian citizen and a Pole. They were allegedly tasked with carrying out sabotage and attacks on behalf of Russian intelligence services. One of the suspects has already been convicted, while the others remain in custody awaiting trial.
Tusk specified that in the case of the 27-year-old Colombian accused of two arson attacks in Poland, the investigation confirmed that these acts of sabotage were carried out under direct orders from Russian intelligence agencies.
"I have appealed to officials responsible for the relevant areas – (intelligence coordinator Tomasz - ed.) Siemoniak, Minister (of the Interior and Administration Marcin - ed.) Kierwiński, and Minister (of Justice Waldemar - ed.) Żurek – urging them to act even more intensively and decisively, both to prevent threats and to identify all those attacking the Polish state for Russian money," the Polish prime minister said.
He noted that the "Polish state would act ruthlessly" against those who plan to destabilize the situation, particularly on Poland's borders.
