MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Polish intelligence agencies pay particular attention to activities related to Russia and Belarus, Sergey Blagov, head of the Polish Studies Department at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University’s Institute of Geopolitical and Regional Studies, said.

"We conducted research into the activities of Polish intelligence agencies. Interestingly, an announcement is still available on the intelligence agency’s website seeking Russian-speaking personnel. Clearly, active work targeting Russia and Belarus is continuing," the expert said in a video provided by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).

According to Blagov, after the Donald Tusk government came to power in Poland, the country’s intelligence agencies became politically biased. "The agencies’ leadership has changed and Poland’s new authorities are actively involved in the development of these services. They are particularly engaged in settling scores with their political opponents and effectively use intelligence agencies to fuel an anti-Russian hysteria in the media by issuing weekly reports of alleged Russian and Belarusian agents detained in Poland, although no one has ever seen these people," the expert noted.

He noted that Polish media coverage of the numerous alleged detentions did not stand up to scrutiny even within the country. "We know about several journalistic investigations that sought to establish who had actually been detained by Polish intelligence agencies. Efforts to identify specific people failed. We don’t know who they are fighting. They seem to be fighting among themselves," Blagov said.

He emphasized that Poland continued to keep a close watch on Russia’s westernmost Kaliningrad Region. "In previous years, various intelligence agencies attempted to study the situation and provide the country’s leadership with information, particularly about the number of troops stationed in the Kaliningrad Region. They seek to use this information to make decisions about deploying troops near the Kaliningrad Region’s borders," the analyst explained. "The 16th Mechanized Division is currently being formed in Poland’s neighboring Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, which is receiving state-of-the-art equipment," Blagov added, noting that people interested in cooperating with Polish intelligence agencies might well be found in the Kaliningrad Region.

Earlier, the FSB reported that it had dismantled a network of Polish intelligence agents in Russia’s Kaliningrad Region, arresting two Polish intelligence operatives.
