GRU Spy Shielded by Polish PM? Pablo González Case Raises NATO Security Alarms

Polish institutions under Donald Tusk stall justice for a Russian spy. What are they hiding?

At the end of March, we described how Pablo González Yagüe (born Pavel Alekseyevich Rubtsov), a GRU spy released in a prisoner exchange (orchestrated and carried out by the Joe Biden administration) by Polish intelligence services under the supervision of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, resumed his disinformation activities, parroting narratives straight from the Kremlin and exploiting human rights rhetoric to undermine the West. Today, Polish media have brought forward new and even more damning revelations about Donald Tusk in the Pablo González/Rubtsov affair. You may recall that before his release to Russia—where he was welcomed by none other than the notorious war criminal Vladolf Putler himself—Tusk's services granted him access to his case files? As reported by Polish media in September 2024, just two weeks before Rubtsov was released from custody, he was allowed to review the entire body of evidence gathered in the investigation. The documents he accessed included classified information, essentially exposing the full spectrum of counterintelligence techniques used under the previous conservative PiS government (which had originally apprehended him). To this day, it is difficult to assess the full extent of the damage—did it affect only Polish counterintelligence capabilities, or did it compromise NATO-wide operations? In any case, Tusk’s people weren’t satisfied with merely doing that much damage. Now it appears that the Chancellery of Prime Minister Donald Tusk is refusing to provide key classified documents related to Rubtsov’s release to the Warsaw District Court. And that’s not all.
