Polish authorities arrested a citizen, Wiktor Ź., for allegedly spying for Russian intelligence services, driven by ideological and pro-Russian convictions, the Polish Public Prosecutor General’s Office reported on June 11.

The 28-year-old, university-educated suspect, identified as Viktor Z., was detained for providing Russia with information that could harm Poland’s national security, according to the prosecutor’s office. 

The collected evidence indicates he gathered data on facilities critical to Poland’s defense.

"These actions were carried out from Feb. 28, 2024, to April 30, 2025, in Bydgoszcz and outside Poland," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

On April 1, Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) detained a 47-year-old Ukrainian citizen suspected of working for Russian special services.
