Poland has said it will close down the Russian consulate in Kraków, after authorities in Warsaw announced they had found evidence proving Russia’s intelligence services were behind a huge fire that destroyed a shopping centre in the Polish capital last year.
The Polish foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, wrote on X: “Due to evidence that the Russian special services committed a reprehensible act of sabotage against the shopping centre on Marywilska Street, I have decided to withdraw my consent to the operation of the consulate of the Russian Federation in Kraków.”
