– In connection with the evidence that Russian special services committed a reprehensible act of sabotage against the shopping center on Marywilska Street, I have decided to withdraw consent for the operation of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Krakow – stated the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski.

As Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously informed: – We now know for certain that the large fire on Marywilska Street was the result of arson commissioned by Russian services. The actions were coordinated by an individual residing in Russia. Some of the perpetrators are already in custody, the rest have been identified and are being sought. We will catch them all!
