Tensions have escalated between Russia and Poland as the Kremlin accuses Warsaw of fostering Russophobia. This development follows the decision by Polish authorities to shut down Russia's consulate in Krakow, a move prompted by suspicions of Russian intelligence's role in a previous arson incident.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has strongly refuted allegations that Russia orchestrated last year's devastating fire at a Warsaw shopping mall. Peskov described these claims as entirely groundless, further straining diplomatic relations between the two nations.
The accusations surrounding the fire at the shopping center in Warsaw remain a contentious point, with the Kremlin vehemently denying any involvement. This diplomatic strain highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting Russian-Polish relations.
