Poland’s counter-espionage service ABW has identified 45 Russian diplomats as suspected spies and calls on the foreign ministry to expel them, its spokesman says.

“The internal security agency has drawn up a list of 45 people working in Poland under the cover of diplomatic activities,” ABW spokesman Stanislaw Zaryn tells reporters, accusing the suspects of targeting Poland.

He says the list of suspects has been transferred to the foreign ministry, tweeting that “ABW is requesting that they be expelled from Polish territory.”
