PAP writes about this with reference to the deputy minister-coordinator of the Polish special services, Stanislav Zharyn.

According to the Polish authorities, the detainees were members of a spy network that worked in the interests of Russia.

According to Zharyn, a total of 12 people were detained during the investigation of this case.

On March 15, 9 foreigners were detained in Poland on suspicion of cooperation with Russian special services.

According to the investigation, the detainees were preparing for sabotage.

According to Polish Foreign Minister Mariusz Kaminski, the main goal of the group was to sabotage supplies of equipment, weapons and aid to Ukraine, as well as to promote anti-Western sentiments.

A day after the detentions, Belarusian pro-government Telegram channels announced that among the nine detainees, three are citizens of Belarus.

We are talking about

Mykolai Maskalenko

(born in 1971),

Vladislav Pasmytyukha

(born in 1994)

and Maria Medvedeva

(born in 2004).

The special services believe that they installed hidden video cameras on the railway that connected the Rzeszów airport and the station on the border with Ukraine: military equipment from the Western allies goes to Ukraine on this route.

US President Joe Biden and other Western politicians traveled to Kyiv on the same route.

"This is a whole network of people who were tasked with collecting information about routes and transports related to Ukraine, but these people also distributed specific content that was ordered by the Russian side and can be considered part of the current agenda of active propaganda activities against Poland," Zharin said. .
