Sikorski Does Not Rule Out Further Steps:

I've Decided to Withdraw Consent for the Operation of the Russian Consulate in Poznań.

- In recent days, a court in Poland recognized that the prosecution presented strong evidence that an act of sabotage occurred in Poland, and that foreign intelligence was behind this act of sabotage, and the Polish court did not agree to a voluntary plea bargain by the potential perpetrator, demanding a higher sentence - said Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

- As Minister of Foreign Affairs, I have information that the Russian Federation is behind sabotage attempts, both in Poland and in allied countries. Therefore, I have decided to withdraw consent for the operation of the Consulate of the Russian Federation in Poznań. Its personnel will be declared persona non grata in the Republic of Poland - he continued.

- We demand an end to the hybrid warfare against Poland and its allies. In the event of its continuation, we reserve the right to take further decisive actions - he went on to say.
