oland's intelligence service has asked the Foreign Ministry in Warsaw to expel 45 Russian diplomats, some of whom it alleges are working for Moscow's secret services under the cover of diplomatic work.
"The Internal Security Agency (ABW) has drawn up a list of 45 people working in Poland under the cover of diplomatic activities," a spokesman for the ABW, Stanislaw Zaryn, told reporters.
"The ABW materials prove that the activities of the identified officers and persons cooperating with them serve to implement Russian intelligence activities aimed at the stability of the Republic of Poland and its partners on the international arena and pose a threat to the interests and security of Poland," the ABW said in a statement.
A government spokesman said the Russian ambassador had been summoned to the Foreign Ministry and that decisions on further steps would be announced after the meeting.
In response, Russia's Foreign Ministry warned it will retaliate if its diplomats are expelled from Poland, the RIA Novosti news agency said on March 23.
