Sudden activities of suspicious individuals in Poland

0

During the recent months, there is sudden activities of numerous suspicious individuals in Poland, where Polish media outlets, intelligence and law enforcement agencies may not have yet researched or investigation the reason behind this new phenomenon. One of the main reasons behind such activities of suspicious individuals in Poland is directly connected to the ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which ultimately will become a gravest concern to the Polish security agencies.

Poland and war in Ukraine

Poland is directly adjacent to Ukraine, where armed conflict is ongoing and attracting foreign fighters from around the world. The consequence for Poland is frequent arrivals of foreign fighters from Ukraine, including fighters from Belarus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Serbia. They have organized cash collections for their activities, interacted with Polish paramilitary and extremist environments, carried out paramilitary training on Polish territory, and even been trained by the “European Academy of Security” in Wroclaw.

It is important to note – Poland’s transit role for foreign fighters is significant. It includes nationals from Finland, Norway, France or Austria going to Ukraine, using Polish airports or road crossings. The Danish Chechens headed by Isa Munajew crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border illegally in 2014. This phenomenon led the Polish Border Guard to stop foreign fighters before they crossed the border with Ukraine.

According to information, much before the Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, about 30 foreign fighters from Poland took part in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, on both sides. The main motivation for choosing sides in the conflict is personal attitudes towards Russia and Ukraine. But every-since the war broke during February this year, the size of movement of foreign fighters using Polish immigration points have significantly increased.

It is important to note, Ukraine is a popular destination among representatives of extreme right-wing organizations, such as the National Radical Camp (ONR) and the Great Poland Camp, or neo-fascist organizations such as Falanga. On the Ukrainian side, the Poles were active, inter alia, in the ranks of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, as well as within the framework of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps.

On the part of the separatists, the largest group of Poles were present in Battalion Rusich, Battalion Prizrak or Battalion Kalmius, as well as the civic Militia of Novorossia.

Poland is one of six European Union member states which stipulate by law that joining foreign armed forces without the prior authorization of the state authorities is punishable by imprisonment. Regardless of this fact, Poland has its foreign fighters not only in its immediate vicinity with the Ukrainian conflict, but also with groups involved in the massive mobilization of foreign fighters in the war in Syria. They include both jihadists and volunteers fighting on the side of the Kurdish forces. The paramilitary group “Wrath of Euphrates” was under the leadership of a former Polish soldier, who went by the pseudonym “Archer”. Still, the number of Polish citizens involved in militant activity in the Middle Eastern and North African conflicts only reaches the tens rather than hundreds and is notably low in comparison to Poland’s Western neighbors.

Sudden movement of suspicious individuals in Poland

For the last several months, there is sudden movement of a few suspicious individuals in Poland. At least few of these individuals are currently discussion establishment of a “green energy park” in Poland’s Lublin province, and according investigative journalist Agnieszka Mazuś of the Dziennik Wschodni, Lublin’s leading newspaper, a dubious entity named ‘Green Zero Foundation’ has already succeeded in signing a Letter of Intent (LoI) in this regard. The project is proposed to be established on a vast-track of land. But, the people behind this entity are proven scammers with criminal past records. While Lublin locals are raising question about the legitimacy of this ‘Green Zero Foundation’ or people behind it, no one is yet actually thinking about the real reason behind this sudden interest of ‘Green Zero Foundation’ in somehow at least signing a final agreement with the authorities concerned. When people are asking – shall this proposed gigantic project will ever see the light of implementation, no one is yet focusing on other sides, which may sound far-more dangerous than handing-over a huge Lublin land to the scammers.

We are aware that a significant portion of military hardware sent by the Western countries are missing immediately after entering Ukraine. Media reports claim, these lost military hardware worth hundreds of millions of dollars are secretly slipping into underworld weapon smuggling rackets. There also are reports about hundreds of Ukrainian females falling victims of transnational human-trafficking and prostitution rings. Ukraine war is helping these smugglers in getting flourished with the opportunity of offering sophisticated weapons and drones as well as young Ukrainian girls and females to prospective buyers in the world. And, people behind Green Zero Foundation, especially Daniel Settgast aka Dan Settgast and Jorge Sebastiao are very much aware of this unique prospect, which would enable them in making tons of cash just by establishing a base in Poland.
