This is the best summary I could come up with:

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) on Friday said it had arrested a Russian national, working for a state firm, who it said was planning to pass on sensitive information to Poland.

Poland's deputy foreign minister Andrjez Szejna poured cold water on the claims in comments carried by Polish news website Onet.

"Any information provided by the Russian side in a situation where we are making every possible effort to support Ukraine... should be considered 'fake news'," Szejna was quoted as saying.

RIA reported that the intelligence services published a video of the interrogation of the man who it said planned to transfer data in exchange for "political asylum."

The video released to Russian news agencies also reportedly showed NATO patches, a copy of the Polish constitution and Ukrainian language books allegedly found in his flat.
