Poland to Close Russian Consulate in Krakow

The Polish Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, has announced that Poland has decided to close the Russian consulate in Krakow, according to Onet.

The closure of the consulate is linked to information held by Polish authorities that Russian intelligence services were involved in the fire that broke out at the Marywilska 44 shopping center in Warsaw on May 12, 2024.

Additionally, Moscow has accused Poland of deliberately continuing to sever bilateral relations.
