Polish security services have deported nine Ukrainians and two Belarusians on suspicion of using Russian money to recruit Ukrainian refugees to demonstrate against the Kyiv government in Poland, the Internal Security Agency (ABW) said on Monday.
Russia’s Hybrid Campaign
Poland has long accused Russia and its ally Belarus of waging a hybrid campaign involving sabotage, cyberattacks, and disinformation since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russia has repeatedly denied these allegations.
The ABW stated that the individuals had links to Russia and Belarus and had been carrying out their activities since autumn 2025. The organisers aimed to gradually influence the Ukrainian refugee community in Poland and use this group to promote political slogans.
Emotive topics, including corruption scandals that have hit the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other developments in domestic politics, had been used to trigger protests.
The Russian embassy in Warsaw did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
