Russia's FSB detains two Polish nationals over espionage in Kaliningrad
Russia's FSB has detained two Polish citizens in Kaliningrad on suspicion of spying on military sites and socio-economic conditions.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Wednesday the arrest of two Polish citizens accused of espionage in the Kaliningrad exclave.
According to statements cited by Russian state media, the individuals were allegedly collecting data on Russian military installations as well as the socio-economic and migration situation in the region, which borders Poland and Lithuania. The FSB further stated that official warnings were issued to seven other Polish citizens and three Russians regarding alleged links to Polish intelligence services.
Polish authorities have not issued a full public response to the allegations. Kaliningrad remains a heavily fortified strategic territory for Moscow between NATO member states.
