Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW) has detained six individuals, including five Polish citizens and one Russian woman, accused of illegally supplying military components to Russia. The group allegedly operated from June 2023 to December 2025, smuggling over 2 million zloty (approximately $511,000) worth of materials used in ammunition and weapons production. Four suspects have been charged with espionage and placed in pretrial detention for three months, while the other two face non-custodial measures. The operation reportedly involved circumventing a strict embargo on military supplies to Russia. Investigations are ongoing, with nearly 100 individuals identified as suspects in espionage and sabotage cases since January 2024. The arrests follow a series of concerns regarding Russian espionage activities in Poland and surrounding regions.
