Apparently not taking any chances, Poland has decided to expel 45 Russian diplomats suspected of spying against the country, a Polish foreign ministry spokesman said.

BBC reports that the 45 Russians are either suspected being spies or are associates of spies, Stanislaw Zaryn, a spokesman for Polish special services said earlier.

One of them was identified during an investigation into a Polish citizen, who worked in the archive of Warsaw’s civil records office, for alleged espionage, Mr Zaryn said.

The Pole was arrested last week and has been remanded in custody for three months.

Russia’s ambassador to Poland, Sergey Andreyev, denied the allegations after he was summoned to the Polish foreign ministry earlier on Wednesday.

Mr Zaryn wrote on Twitter the Russian ambassador repeated “absurd lies” adding, he is “one big fake”.

Meanwhile, many Polish citizens are said to be signing up to join the country’s territorial defense force following what is happening to their next door neighbor, Ukraine.

The Poles said they are not afraid to defend their country and would be ready to fight should Putin take his madness too far by attacking Poland which is a NATO member country.
