Russian ambassador summoned, consulate closed, as probe confirms Moscow’s involvement in Warsaw shopping centre fire.

Poland said Monday it would closea second Russian consulate over a May 2024 blaze that destroyed the largest shopping mall in the capital, Warsaw, saying the evidence showed Moscow was behind it.

Poland has accused Russian intelligence services of orchestrating a massive fire that nearly completely destroyed a shopping centre in the capital Warsaw last year. In a post on X, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland knows "for sure" that the blaze at the Marywilska shopping centre was caused by arson ordered by the Russian special services.
