Poland says it has arrested six people suspected of helping Russia obtain military components in breach of an embargo. Four have also been charged with espionage, with investigators alleging they sent information to Moscow; the case highlights Polish concerns about efforts to evade restrictions on goods with defence uses.

The suspects are five Polish nationals aged 25 to 52 and a 37-year-old Russian woman. The four charged with espionage, including the woman, have been placed in pre-trial detention for three months, while the other two face non-custodial restrictions.
