Sikorski angered the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a reaction to the new restrictions

On Monday, during a press conference after the meeting of foreign ministers of European Union countries in Brussels, the Minister of Foreign Affairs announced a decision related to Russia's participation in the hybrid war against the EU and Poland. – Restrictions will be introduced on the movement of Russian diplomats around our country, he noted.

– The Russian embassy will soon receive a note on this matter. The restrictions will apply to both the embassy itself and the consular staff of the Russian Federation in Poland, said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to the new rules, these people will be able to move around Poland only within Masovia, and consuls only in the voivodeships in which they operate. The Russians reacted bitterly to this decision on May 27.
