A Russian plot to sabotage Poland's train lines in a bid to stop the country delivering arms to Ukraine has been uncovered, with six suspected foreign agents arrested.
According to news outlet RMF FM, the 'foreigners from across our eastern border' were detained by Poland's Internal Security Agency 'on suspicion of working on behalf of the Russian special services'.
The six agents - who are thought to be from Belarus - were seized after intelligence officers from Poland’s ABW found hidden cameras recording important railway routes for transferring weapons and ammo to Ukraine.
They are suspected of trying to sabotage the lines to disrupt Kyiv's war effort. Poland's special forces minister said an official statement would be given tomorrow.
The arrests come just weeks after the minster responsible for the country's special services revealed that nine other people suspected of collaborating with the Russian and Belarusian services had also been detained in recent months.
Stanislaw Zaryn also warned of Russia's increasingly aggressive intelligence activities following Poland's expulsion last year of 45 Russian diplomats accused of being spies. 'Russia is looking for new opportunities to act against Poland,' he said.

It seems that Putin has enlisted his toadie Lukashenko to send his own incompetent saboteurs, who promptly got caught, to do his dirty work while maintaining plausible deniability.
That’s ok, whether Russian or Belorussian saboteurs, shoot them all and be done with it.
Expect more of the same.
If they are suppling arms, or delivering arms, it’s a legit target.
Good to know Polish counter-intel appears to be watching carefully.
Absolutely.
CNN says 51 active CIA analysts have confirmed this story.
It would seem that Putin is fighting a war. Sabotage is a commonly used tactic of war. The amazing thing, is that Putin hasn’t just bombed the roads and rails already.
The more our economy falters, the greater frequency the false flags. Biden and his ilk need a distraction.
As I’ve said many times before, WWIII begins in Poland. If the Uke cannon fodder holds out long enough, NATO weaponry will be decisive. Once that eventuality is about to happen Russian will take out the Polish NATO staging areas for the proxy war weapons. An attack on NATO territory and your bloody dreams come true, nuclear war, toe to toe, with the Ruskies.
They should force confessions by putting panties on their heads.
Just days before heading back to fight in the Battle of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian soldier Volodymyr, 54, said he felt ill-prepared.
"When they drive us to Bakhmut, I already know I'm being sent to death," Volodymyr told the Kyiv Independent during his brief stay in Kramatorsk, a city in Donetsk Oblast some 25 kilometers west of the front line.
... "(The Russians) keep firing at us, but we don't have artillery – so we have nothing to attack them back with," Volodymyr said. "I don't know if I will return or not. We are just getting killed."
Ukrainian infantrymen interviewed by the Kyiv Independent described the fighting in Bakhmut as a desperate survival challenge against Russia's "infinite" stocks of artillery munitions and manpower. With just their machine guns and rifles, they say they braced relentless Russian mortar and artillery attacks until their hideout was eventually destroyed.
... Valeriy, a Ukrainian infantryman, says that most of his fallen comrades were fatally wounded by projectile fragments.
"It's a pity that probably 90% of our losses are from artillery – or tanks and aviation," Valeriy told the Kyiv Independent a few hours after leaving the Bakhmut front. "And much less (casualties) from shooting battles."
Valeriy counted that "only a few" of the original 27 members of his platoon got out of the Bakhmut front with him, though he explained that most of them were wounded, not killed.
"The Russians have so many weapons, and there are so many of them," Valeriy said. "They are firing at us all the time. Sometimes, you hear an incoming every second."

Infantryman Vladyslav from the 58th Independent Motorized Infantry Brigade says many soldiers in his platoon have refused to go to Bakhmut as Russians came closer. Multiple soldiers from other brigades also said they’ve encountered many "refusers" who did everything not to be deployed back to Bakhmut.
During the last rotation in late February, Vladyslav said that only eight out of 25 soldiers in his platoon headed out to Bakhmut – and the rest said they couldn't go because of sudden fever or body pain.
The eight then headed to a position at a crossroad near the Bakhmutka River, where destroyed houses lined up. The platoon came under heavy Russian mortar fire as soon as they arrived.
Two were killed, and two were severely wounded – one soldier lost his arm, and the other was hit in the stomach by a projectile, Vladyslav said. The rest, including Vladyslav himself, received a severe concussion.
They were all evacuated from Bakhmut that day and lost the position.
So any country that is helping Russia (China, Iran, NK, Belarus, etc) is also a legit target for Ukraine? Or do different rules apply?
Wow, once again you insult Polish people like this is 1960 and your an elementary student telling pollack jokes. You really are racist.
“You really are racist.”
Poles aren’t a race.
no, Jon-boy is a bigot
and not too smart either
They are a people, an ethnicity, and they are hard working proud people. They suffered under NAZI occupation and Polish Jews suffered the worst.
Polack jokes were tolerated in the 1960’s like other racist attitudes were still tolerated. They havent been funny in 50 years.
Some posters should grow up.
They been to Ohio lately?
Your = You’re (and here you are arguing intelligence) 😃
