On April 22, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Marc Polymeropoulos was quoted in an article in Newsy titled “Polish Official: Expelled Russian spies targeted Ukrainian refugees.” Polymeropoulos states that the coordinated European move to expel so-called Russian diplomats was long overdue as they conducted intelligence operations in their host states.
For a long time, we worked under the assumption that, you know, Russia uses Europe as their playground. They really got away with everything, including murder and assassination operations.
