Poland Calls for Closure of Russian Consulates and Diplomat Restrictions
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has urged European countries to close Russian consulates, reduce the number of Russian diplomats, and restrict their movement within the EU, citing concerns about potential 'hybrid attacks'.
Background
Relations between Poland and Russia have been strained for years, particularly since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Poland views Russia as a significant security threat and has consistently advocated for strong international measures against Moscow. This ongoing tension influences Poland's foreign policy and its calls for increased restrictions on Russian diplomatic presence.

Poland Calls for Closure of Russian Consulates and Diplomat Restrictions
First report 8h agoLast update 7h agoClosing Russian consulates and restricting diplomats is a necessary step to counter potential Russian hybrid attacks and sabotage.
The call to close Russian consular offices is counterproductive, exacerbates the dire outlook, and hinders mutually acceptable solutions.
