In Poland, law enforcers apprehended two Russian nationals for spreading propaganda of Russia-controlled Wagner Group, and accused both of espionage.

This was reported by Bloomberg, Ukrinform saw.

Poland’s Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski announced on Monday on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) that two Russians had been circulating propaganda materials in Krakow and Warsaw. The politician stopped short of providing any additional details of the case.

In recent weeks, the authorities in Poland and the Baltic States warned of a growing security threat from the authoritarian president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, who had sheltered Russian mercenaries from the notorious Wagner Group, the report says.
