Russia is systematically recruiting ordinary Europeans for low-level sabotage and surveillance through fake job offers on social media and job boards, targeting individuals across socioeconomic backgrounds with financial incentives. The “disposable agent” model exploits greed and reduces operational risk by using locals unlikely to be under existing surveillance. Recent recruitment attempts reached TVP World journalists via SMS and Telegram, mirroring documented patterns across Europe and Poland specifically.

Defense: public awareness and reporting of suspicious recruitment offers.
