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.

Next prediction?
That’s going on now, so yes.
Should they hit China too?
Should they hit other nations?
Russia (if this report is right) has tried to hit expand
the fighting beyond the Ukraine.
IDGAF.
This is squabble between two former Soviet States, not our concern.
Let the Europeans put on their big boy pants and sort this, we are not World Police™️
Well evidently you do, being here to discuss the issue and
all. Thanks for the comments.
Ok, I guess I can pretend to care…
Ukraine should do what they think is in their best interest.
If they think doing covert ops against China or whoever will help their cause then god speed and good luck.
IMHO, they should be seeking peace with the best terms they can get, before they lose any more land or lives.
I’m not in favor of them going deep into Russia. I wouldn’t urge a China
action either.
Brokering a deal may be advisable. They should think about what they can live with and see if that can be the basis for talks.
I’m not happy about some of Russia’s land grabs.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for March 16, 2023:
- Russian warplanes intercepted and apparently clipped the propeller of a US MQ-9 drone carrying out surveillance near Crimea;
- The US has no means of recovering the drone, though Russia may have an opportunity to recover it;
- While the drone operated in international airspace according to the US, it was collecting intelligence on behalf of Ukraine as part of ongoing hostilities, as a party of the conflict and thus threatening Russian national security;
- Bakhmut continues to face encirclement;
- The Western media has begun admitting to the grim deterioration of Ukraine’s forces under the weight of Russia’s strategy of attrition;
- Ukraine has lost the majority of troops trained by NATO over the last 8-9 years;
- Ongoing NATO training is rushed, incapable of meeting or exceeding Russia’s pool of trained manpower;
- Ammunition and weapons are also admittedly running out;
- Ukraine may or may not be diverting reserves for an upcoming spring offensive to instead fight in Bakhmut;
- Any possible counteroffensive around Bakhmut might indicate just how badly deteriorated Ukraine’s forces have become;
