“Especially shameful in this situation is the position of the Polish Foreign Ministry, which, instead of ensuring the protection of a foreign diplomatic mission from encroachment on its property, said that it “accepts with satisfaction” the procedure for the seizure and transfer of the building at 100 Sobieski Street to the State Treasury of Poland,” Zakharova said.

She noted that any unfriendly move by Warsaw would entail an adequate and effective response from the Russian side.

Later, the Russian embassy sent a note of protest to the Polish Foreign Ministry in connection with the seizure of the diplomatic property.
