Poland has arrested six people accused of supplying Russia with restricted arms components, including a 37-year-old Russian woman. The group is believed to have illegally supplied Russia with significant quantities of components for military use, employed in particular in the production of ammunition and weapons systems. The supply involved 2 million zloty (around $511,000) worth of military hardware smuggled to Russia's exclave of Kaliningrad bordering Poland. Four of the suspects, including the Russian woman, are charged with espionage and placed in pre-trial detention for three months. The other two suspects are under noncustodial preventive measures. The group operated between June 2023 and December 2025 across Poland, Lithuania, and Russia. The investigation is ongoing to establish the extent of the network.
Poland's president cut short a foreign trip, police intervened outside the Constitutional Tribunal and protesters gathered in Warsaw as a bitter struggle over control of the country's highest constitutional court escalated.
