[Russia says it defeated the "Polish spy network" in Kaliningrad, Poland responds: false information] On November 11, Russia's Federal Security Service said on the 11th local time that it arrested two people suspected of working for Polish intelligence agencies in the Russian Baltic Sea enclave of Kaliningrad Oblast, and accused them of collecting and passing information on military personnel and facilities of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Russia quoted information from the Russian Federal Security Service as saying that the two men had been criminally registered on suspicion of espionage and were detained with the approval of the court. Russia also said that seven other Polish citizens had been warned and banned from entering Russia due to suspected ties to Polish security services. Russia also said that relevant personnel had collected information on the socio-economic status of Kaliningrad Region, as well as immigration and social policies.
In this regard, Polish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maciej Weviur said that Poland is verifying the Russian statement and called for caution regarding information related to the Russian Federal Security Service and Russian media. Jacek Dombrzhenski, spokesman for the Polish minister responsible for coordinating special department affairs, said that Russia’s release of such information on Poland’s Independence Day was “another provocation and false information.” At present, Poland has not confirmed the identities of the two persons and related accusations claimed by Russia. Russia has yet to disclose evidence that can independently verify the above accusations. (CCTV News)
