11 foreigners detained in Poland on suspicion of working for Russia: nine of them are Ukrainians

In Poland, law enforcement officers detained nine citizens of Ukraine and two citizens of Belarus, who are suspected of involvement in activities in the interests of Russia. According to Polish intelligence services, the suspects could have been involved in organizing paid rallies among Ukrainian refugees.

This was reported by the Minister-Coordinator of Special Services of Poland.

According to him, the detention was carried out by employees of the Polish Internal Security Agency in cooperation with the Border Guard Service. All suspects are planned to be immediately deported from the country.

The investigation established that since the fall of 2025, the detainees were engaged in searching for participants and financing protest actions that were held among Ukrainian migrants in Poland. According to Polish intelligence services, organizational support and financing came directly from Russia.

The Polish authorities qualify such actions as an attempt to conduct an influence operation aimed at destabilizing the environment of Ukrainian refugees and inciting social tension.

Against the backdrop of these events, Polish special services are also warning of possible new Russian provocations, in particular, using Polish symbols on the territory of Ukraine.
