Poland's decision to close the Russian consulate in Krakow follows evidence that Russian intelligence orchestrated a significant fire at a Warsaw shopping center last year. The Polish foreign minister announced this action on social media, emphasizing the evidence of sabotage. The fire, which affected about 1,400 outlets, prompted an extensive investigation involving numerous law enforcement personnel. Polish authorities suspect a broader campaign of sabotage by Russia across Europe, with certain targeted actions linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The investigation is ongoing, with some suspects apprehended and others still sought.
The Polish foreign minister, Radosaw Sikorski, stated that evidence suggests the Russian special services committed a reprehensible act... of sabotage against the shopping centre.
The investigation into the fire required extraordinary measures, involving 55 prosecutors and 100 police officers over a period of four months... organized and directed by a specific person residing in the Russian Federation.
