Polish 'Disposable Spies' on Trial, 'No Doubt About Russia's Role'

NOS22 September · 21:301 day ago

Polish prosecutors are preparing to try five suspects linked to the arson attack on Warsaw's Marywilska 44 shopping center, asserting that Russian intelligence services initiated the operation. The investigation reveals that young Ukrainian nationals were recruited as disposable spies to carry out sabotage, including fires at an IKEA in Lithuania and a hardware store in Warsaw, with footage posted on Russian propaganda channels to frame Ukraine. While lower-level operatives like 17-year-old Daniil B. have been arrested, organizers such as Oleksandr Varyvoda remain at large from Russia. Experts warn this hybrid warfare aims to sow panic and erode Western support for Ukraine, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasizing Russia's intent to escalate tensions against NATO.
