Poland’s government has summoned the Russian ambassador and vowed to shut down the country’s consulate in the city of Krakow after concluding Russian sabotage caused a huge fire in a shopping centre.
Russia has denied any involvement in the fire, which almost completely destroyed a shopping complex in the Polish capital of Warsaw in 2024.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland knew “for sure” that Russian secret services were behind last year’s fire.

A NATO member and hub for Ukrainian aid, Poland has frequently blamed Russia for sabotage, cyberattacks and disinformation.
