Poland’s Internal Security Agency has announced the detention of two Ukrainian nationals. They are suspected of espionage and carrying out sabotage operations on behalf of Russian intelligence services.

According to the agency, the men conducted reconnaissance of critical and military infrastructure in various parts of Poland. They have also been charged with setting vehicles on fire. The suspects, aged 24 and 25, were paid in cryptocurrency for their activities.

“According to the investigation, the men set fire to cars after first changing their registration plates to those used on Ukrainian military vehicles. This may have been done to make it more difficult to establish the actual circumstances of the incidents and to cast suspicion on the Ukrainian side,” the agency said.

The court ordered the suspects to be remanded in custody for three months.
