Warsaw, November 19 (Xinhua) — Poland will close the Russian consulate in Gdansk, which was the last remaining Russian consulate in the country. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced this at a press conference on Wednesday.
R. Sikorski stated that the closure of the consulate in the northern Polish city is not a comprehensive response by Poland to what he called Russia's "hostile actions." According to him, Warsaw has repeatedly warned Moscow that its diplomatic and consular presence will be further reduced if such actions continue.
The Russian Embassy in Warsaw will remain open. "We have no plans to sever diplomatic relations with Russia," the Polish Foreign Minister added.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the explosion that occurred last weekend on the Warsaw-Lublin railway an act of sabotage. On Tuesday, he told parliament that two Ukrainians acting on orders from Russian intelligence were responsible.
Such accusations against Russia are “absolutely baseless and unfounded,” Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov emphasized on Wednesday, according to RIA Novosti. –0–
