Poland Hands Over Russian Consulate to Ukraine After Diplomatic Expulsion
Following accusations of Russian sabotage and cyberattacks against Poland, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expelled Russian diplomats from the Poznań consulate, ordering its closure. The building’s lease expires in November, and Sikorski expressed openness to a Ukrainian request to utilize the site. This consideration stems from the significant Ukrainian population in Poland, necessitating increased consular services. Sikorski also stated that Poland is prepared to counter ongoing Russian sabotage efforts throughout Europe.
