Poland’s counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism agency – the Internal Security Agency (ABW) – has detained twelve people on charges of collaborating with the Russian intel and security services. On order of the Russians, the suspects conducted intelligence activities against Poland and prepared acts of subversion in the country.

The Russian services use the visits of Poles in the Kaliningrad Oblast for activities aimed at obtaining intelligence information, warns the Government Plenipotentiary for the Security of the Information Space of the Republic of Poland, Stanisław Żaryn.

The Chinese presence in Europe and Poland is an important element of Beijing's policy, which aims to systematically increase its influence on Western countries.

At the request of the Head of the Internal Security Agency, a Russian citizen, Victor Bezeka, was entered on the list of foreigners undesirable on the territory of the Republic of Poland, whose journalistic activity is part of the Kremlin's information war against Poland and the EU.

With the ongoing war in Ukraine, in the Polish cyberspace, there are more and more occurrences classified as computer incidents, including attacks perpetrated by Russian hackers. This is a response of the Russian Federation to the Poland’s support provided to Ukraine and an attempt to destabilise the situation in our country.

Russian propaganda manipulates information, creating a picture of reality favorable to Russia that lends credence to Moscow's aggressive policy. Russia's information activities constantly target the West.

On Nov. 17th, 2022, Poland’s Minister-Coordinator of Intelligence and Security Services Mariusz Kamiński held a meeting in Warsaw with the U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

Today in Warsaw, Poland’s Minister – Special Services Coordinator Mariusz Kamiński met with Director of CIA William Burns, to discuss the current security situation in the light of the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

The decision to withdraw Russian troops from the west bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson Oblast does not mean a breakthrough during Russia's war against Ukraine. There are also no signs that this decision will change Russia's strategy. Russia continues its hostilities, while its main goals remain unchanged - it is about destroying the present shape of the Ukrainian state and its political domination over Ukraine.

The officers of the Internal Security Agency detained in Gdańsk and its vicinity another two people who were involved in helping Joanna S. and her son Mikael S. - organizers of fictitious large-scale trade in works of art.
