Additionally, Polish intelligence agencies are working on dismantling Russian spy networks within the country. Polish government institutions are also working on using and developing new technologies aimed at expanding their surveillance capabilities.
Key Judgement 1. It is highly likely that Poland will increasingly counter Russian espionage operations through the detention of foreign agents.
Key Judgement 2. It is highly likely that Russian espionage operations aimed at destabilising Poland will increase in the next 12 months.
Key Judgement 3. It is highly likely that Poland will continue to develop its counter-intelligence capacity and increase the use of surveillance technology in the next 12 months.
