The Prime Minister emphasized that an increasing number of publications in the world media indicate the possibility of coordination of this scandal by Russian special services.
More and more facts and comments in the world press link this unprecedented pedophile scandal with the possible involvement of Russian intelligence. If this is confirmed, it is a serious threat to the security of the Polish state
He also suggested that in such a case, the Russian side could have obtained compromising materials on many current world leaders.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia did not provide an official response to these statements at the time of publication. The Russian embassy in Warsaw also did not comment on the situation.
At the same time, earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that the published Epstein files allegedly demonstrate "the hypocrisy of Western elites."

These files caused political resonance and led to the resignations of high-ranking officials in various countries.
