Retired Colonel Maciej Korowaj assessed that the Military Intelligence Service's warning about possible diversionary actions at the border with the Kaliningrad region could fit into a Russian operation aimed at provoking a Polish reaction, and then exploiting the lack of an incident to undermine trust in the services. He noted that this was his speculation, and open sources did not allow for establishing whether the threat was real or what its scale was. Korowaj recalled that, according to information from the Commander of the Police, the Military Intelligence Service warned of the possibility of diversionary actions, including the intrusion of armed groups. A special operations headquarters was established at the Police Headquarters, and full readiness was ordered for November 2–8. Wirtualna Polska reported that soldiers from GROM were directed to the border area to operate together with police counter-terrorists. Analyzing Russian sources, Korowaj indicated that the Baltic Fleet practiced repelling attacks by diversionary groups on October 25, and on November 1, combat divers searched the naval port in Baltiysk. He added that on October 27, the administration of the Nesterov district published instructions for action during drone attacks, and a draft decree limiting the publication of information, including about the military and air defense, was posted on the district authorities' website. Korowaj stated that he did not find signals in Russian sources about troop movements, closing border areas, or new restrictions for the population that would indicate preparations for cross-border actions. However, he noted that Russian media presented the Polish warning as a pretext and recalled earlier statements by Russian representatives. According to Korowaj, the Russian goal could have been to create a situation where Polish actions would be interpreted by the political dispute parties as an attempt to divert attention or as evidence of destabilizing the state. He pointed out that the warning appeared in a week of tensions surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal and the opposition's announcement of a vote of no confidence. Possible indicators for further developments included the coordinated linking by Russian media of border operations with the crisis around the Tribunal, as well as the future of the draft decree and the case of the detained Polish citizen. #Kaliningrad #Bezpieczeństwo #Wojna (translated)
