A significant fire in a Warsaw shopping center in May 2024 destroyed 1,400 businesses, prompting an investigation. Russia has responded with a vow of "adequate response" over Poland's closure of a Russian consulate in Krakow. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has confirmed that the fire was caused by arson commissioned by Russian services, with some perpetrators already in custody and others being sought.

    1. The goal of the accused was to lower our morale, to question the effectiveness and competency of our state, and to question our support for Ukraine.

    1. The actions were coordinated by a person residing in Russia. Some of the perpetrators are already in custody, while the rest have been identified and are being sought. We will catch them all!
    2. We now know for sure that the great fire of the Marywilska shopping center in Warsaw was caused by arson ordered by the Russian special services.

    Polish Foreign Ministry
    1. Due to evidence that the Russian special services committed a reprehensible act of sabotage against the shopping centre on Marywilska Street, I have decided to withdraw my consent to the operation of the consulate of the Russian Federation in Kraków.
    2. I have a message for Russian authorities: we know what you are doing, we don't accept it and we are taking the appropriate measures.

    1. An adequate response to these inadequate steps will follow shortly.
    2. Warsaw continues to deliberately undermine relations, acting against the interests of its citizens.

    1. The strategic aim is to sow discord and insecurity. They are not destroying significant infrastructure. They are concentrating on soft targets that influence a general perception of insecurity in society. This is classic psyops.
