WARSAW, June 29 (Reuters) – Polish security services have deported nine Ukrainians and two Belarusians on suspicion of \u200busing Russian money to recruit Ukrainian refugees \u200cto demonstrate against the Kyiv government in Poland, the Internal Security Agency (ABW) said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Poland has long accused \u200bRussia and its ally Belarus of \u200bwaging a hybrid campaign involving sabotage, cyberattacks and \u2060disinformation since Moscow\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine<\/a> in \u200b2022. Russia has repeatedly denied these allegations.<\/p>\n

“The organisers \u200baimed to gradually influence the Ukrainian refugee community in Poland and use this group to promote political slogans,” \u200bthe ABW said in a statement.<\/p>\n

It added that \u200bemotive topics including corruption scandals<\/a> that have hit the government of \u200cUkrainian \u2060President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other developments in domestic politics had been used to trigger protests.<\/p>\n

According to the agency, the individuals had links to \u200bRussia and \u200bBelarus and \u2060had been carrying out their activities since autumn 2025.<\/p>\n

“This is an example \u200bof operations that fall outside of \u200bclassic \u2060aggression, aimed at undermining public trust, fuelling tensions and exploiting people fleeing war as instruments of \u2060Russian influence,” \u200bthe ABW said.<\/p>\n

The Russian \u200bembassy in Warsaw did not immediately respond to a request for \u200bcomment.<\/p>\n
