Polish police confiscated stickers believed to be aimed at recruiting personnel for Wagner’s Russian mercenary group, DPA and Agerpres reported on Saturday.
The stickers, the size of an A5 sheet of paper, were seen by residents of several districts of the city of Krakow in southern Poland, a local police spokeswoman told DPA on Saturday.
The stickers feature the Wagner logo, under which is written in English: “We are here. Join us.” According to police, the QR code below links to a recruitment site for a mercenary group.

Poland has shown signs of nervousness after Yevgeny Prigozhin’s private army deployed in neighboring Belarus following a failed uprising against Moscow.
According to the leadership in Minsk, the training of the Belarusian army is carried out by Wagner fighters.
“We don’t know if the sticker campaign is a joke or if there is something more serious behind it,” said a Krakow police spokeswoman.
She also reported that the prosecutor’s office has been notified and the police are identifying the persons who pasted the stickers.
Recruiting for foreign armies and mercenaries, as well as participation in such organizations, is illegal in Poland. Persons who violate these prohibitions face up to five years in prison.
A person was discovered on Wisłynski Boulevard in Warsaw, who was pasting recruitment “stickers” for the Wagner Group.
There is a possibility that this person works for Russian intelligence.
