Poland captures Russian spy

Poland’s intelligence services have detained a man accused of spying for Russia, Interior Minister Mariusz Kamiński said on July 10.

“The suspect conducted surveillance of military facilities and seaports. He was systematically paid by the Russians,” Kamiński said, according to POLITICO.

European intelligence services have cracked down on Russian interference since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and hundreds of suspected Russian spies have been expelled from the Continent.

In March, Poland said it had broken up a Russian espionage network, arresting six suspected spies.

The Polish interior minister said the man detained Monday was the 15th individual held in connection with that same investigation.
