Poland has issued an arrest warrant for a former Polish soldier accused of joining the Russian army and spreading disinformation on behalf of Russian intelligence, including through videos on social-media platform TikTok.
He joined Russian forces in 2023, first as a volunteer then later as a soldier after receiving Russian citizenship.
Poland has in recent years detained, charged, and in some cases convicted dozens of agents accused of conducting espionage, sabotage, disinformation and other so-called “hybrid actions” on behalf of Russia.
Poland has charged five people – four Ukrainians and one Russian – with carrying out sabotage on behalf of Russia by putting explosives in packages then sending them by courier across Europe.
