Rzeczpospolita reports on what it calls the largest spy affair in Poland in recent years, which could seriously bring down relations between Russia and Poland.

At the end of April earlier this year, before a meeting between Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, Interfax agency informed that Polish authorities had expelled two Russian military officials from the country. Meanwhile Russia had done likewise with two Polish officers.

The whole issue was carried out by secret services.

The daily reports that it is now clear that the two Russian officers, Aleksey Karasajev and Sergey Peresunko, were Russian spies who tried to find out as much as possible about the plans related to the location of the US anti missile shield, new technologies in the Polish army and everything related to Poland's interactions with NATO.
