The Russian Foreign Ministry reacted to the hostile actions of Poland. In particular, on April 29, law enforcement and government officials broke into the school building of the Russian Embassy in Poland. The door was broken down and employees were told they had to leave the building by 6 p.m. local time.
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Zakharova, said that such a brazen act by the Polish authorities would not go unanswered from the Russian side, calling it “a flagrant violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations” and another encroachment on Russian diplomatic assets in Poland, she wrote about it on her Telegram channel.
“Such a brazen decision by Warsaw that goes beyond the framework of civilized interstate communication will not remain without our severe reaction and its consequences for the Polish authorities and Poland’s interests in Russia. This must be understood by the initiators of such controversial and provocative undertakings,” said Maria Zakharova.
She also pointed out that this action by the Polish authorities is a provocation, noting that the Warsaw official “has been violating the law for many years: international law, bilateral agreements, national legislation, behaving provocatively and illegally”.
Previously, the Polish authorities withdrew funds from the accounts of the Russian embassy and trade mission in that country. It was reported that the Santander bank notified the withdrawal of the funds and their transfer to the accounts of the local prosecutor’s office, followed by the closure of the Russian accounts and the notification of the end of cooperation. Russian Ambassador Sergei Andreev informed that these accounts had large funds, which were in both US and Polish currency.
