The images of Yevhenii Ivanov and Oleksander Kononov - both wanted on warrants issued by the Mazovian branch of the National Prosecutor’s Office - were released on Friday by the Warsaw Metropolitan Police.

Investigators say the men are suspected of espionage and terrorism-related offences and fled to Belarus after preparing the sabotage operation.

Prosecutors are now preparing an application for a European Arrest Warrant.
