Poland to allocate additional $25 million to boost intelligence amid growing threats from Russia

Reuters reports.

According to Tusk, Poland, which is a distribution center for supplies to Ukraine, has become a key target for Russian intelligence services. He added that these fears intensified last week after a judge with access to military secrets sided with Russia's ally Belarus.

"I decided to allocate 100 million zlotys from my own reserve, the reserve of the prime minister, to strengthen the internal security and intelligence agencies," Tusk said, warning that Russia's efforts to destabilize European countries, particularly Poland and the Baltic states, would intensify ahead of the European elections in June.

He added that Polish services have already prevented a number of sabotage attempts in recent months.

"In the last dozen or so weeks, also thanks to the support of our allies, Poland thwarted attempts to commit sabotage and arson," the Polish Prime Minister said.

• On May 10, it was reported that Poland had prepared a bill that would establish a Sejm commission to investigate the influence of Russia and Belarus on the country's political life.
