Two Ukrainian citizens were arrested in Poland on suspicion of spying for Russia.
The Internal Security Agency believes that 24- and 25-year-old youths, under the orders of the Russian special services, conducted a tour and photographed critical and military infrastructure facilities on the territory of Poland, Tomasz Semoniak, the coordinating minister of the country's special services, wrote on the social network.
In addition to espionage and sabotage, Schmoniak said, they were also accused of setting fire to vehicles. For completing tasks, the investigation believes, the young people received rewards, including in cryptocurrency.
Tomasz Semoniak also noted that the suspects changed the registration numbers of their cars to those similar to those used on Ukrainian army vehicles. In his opinion, this could have been done in order to shift the blame to Ukraine and start a disinformation campaign against the country.
The young men were detained for three months.
