Poland orders Russian consulate in Krakow closed after blaming Kremlin for 2024 arson
Share this @internewscast.com

Polish authorities have ordered the shutdown of Russia’s consulate in Krakow, following findings that identified Moscow as the instigator behind a 2024 arson that leveled a shopping center in Warsaw.

On Monday, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski revealed the decision during a visit to the U.K. The announcement followed the conclusion of an extensive investigation into the fire that decimated a shopping complex housing approximately 1,400 shops.

“This was a massive inferno at a Warsaw mall, where fortunately, no one was injured. Such acts are utterly intolerable,” Sikorski stated. “Thus, the Russian consulate must vacate, and should these acts persist, we’ll implement additional measures.”

Russian officials have denied wrongdoing and condemned Poland’s decision in statements to the press.

“Our proposal, as they say, is on the table,” Putin said. “The decision is now up to the Ukrainian authorities and their curators, who are guided, it seems, by their personal political ambitions, and not by the interests of their peoples.”

Zelenskyy agreed to meet directly with Putin following urging from Trump.

The Russian leader said he does not rule out that Moscow and Kyiv will agree on “some new truces, a new ceasefire” during negotiations in Turkey, saying that the talks would be the first step toward a “sustainable” peace.
