Polish soldier detained for Russian intelligence ties

Poland's Internal Security Agency has detained a soldier from the 12th Greater Poland Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces, identified as Jarosław K., on suspicion of working for Russian intelligence. The investigation alleges that between July 2023 and April 2024, while serving as a radio operator, he passed information of interest to Russian special services. The suspect had publicly demonstrated a pro-Russian stance on social media, approving of Russian strikes on Ukraine and participating in far-right group events. After the case was opened, the soldier was suspended from duty, but a court declined to remand him in custody, citing insufficient evidence; the prosecutor's office has filed a complaint to review that decision.
