The Polish espionage network was exposed by the FSB in the Kaliningrad region.
Russian law enforcement officers uncovered a network of agents of Polish intelligence services in the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation, which collected data on military installations, as well as the socioeconomic situation, immigration and social policy in the region. This was reported on November 11 by the Public Relations Center of the FSB of Russia.
According to the department, two agents of the Military Intelligence Service of the Ministry of National Defense and the Internal Security Agency of Poland were arrested and detained. Criminal cases of espionage were opened against them under Article 276 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Another 7 Poles and three Russians who were in contact with the Polish intelligence services were warned about the inadmissibility of actions that create conditions for the commission of crimes under Article 275 ("Treason"), Article 275.1 ("Cooperation on a secret basis with a foreign state, international organization or a foreign country of Russia" (Avenue Code 6) and Article CE27 of Russia.
"The listed citizens of the Republic of Poland are prohibited from entering our country for a long period of time," the FSB COS clarified.
According to the data of the intelligence service, as a result of an inspection in 2026, Russian visas were canceled for 14 Polish citizens, and another 6 were denied entry to Russia.
In August, a Moscow city court sentenced a Russian man found guilty of spying for Poland's interests to 23 years in prison. According to the investigation, in 2022 the man went to Poland, where he contacted a representative of the National Military Intelligence Service of the Ministry of Defense. Later he transferred to Warsaw data on promising weapons that the Russian military is using in the military operation zone in Ukraine.
