An appropriate consequence to these unreasonable steps will shortly occur" She added.Russian Ambassador to Poland, Sergei Andreyev, told RIA Novosti that Warsaw had not notified Moscow of the closure of the consulate.Poland expects Russia to close 1 of its consulates in response, most likely in Kaliningrad or Irkutsk, said RIA Novosti spokesperson for the MFA.The fire at the Marywilska 44 buying Centre in Warsaw took place on 12 May 2024 and absorbed almost the full complex, causing the roof to collapse.
No injuries were reported despite the fire scale.
The centre housed about 1,400 shops and service points, many of which were run by members of the Warsaw Vietnamese community, who suffered crucial financial losses.Poland, like another Western countries, has repeatedly accused Russia of carrying out sabotage attacks and engaging in ‘hybrid war’ facing an impasse around Ukraine.
