Author | Minkina, Mirosław |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | The information gathered as a result of Russian intelligence activities against Poland serves to discredit Poland as a state co-shaping the Eastern policy of the European Union and NATO. The aim is to reduce Poland’s influence on this policy. The priorities of Russian intelligence in Poland include the energy sector, the armed forces, and allied forces stationed on its territory. Since the conflict in Ukraine in 2014, Polish counterintelligence has noted a significant increase in the activity of Russian intelligence. In addition to classic intelligence activities, the Russians conduct covert actions. Their goal is to exacerbate historical controversies and create the image of Poland as a Russophobic state that is a firm opponent of the improvement of Russia’s relations with the West. |
