On April 8, Krzysztof Krajewski, the Polish Ambassador to Russia, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Moscow where a resolute protest was lodged in connection with the March 23, 2022 decision to declare 45 officials of Russian diplomatic missions in Poland personae non grata.
The Russian side told the Ambassador that it saw this step as confirmation of Warsaw's deliberate efforts to completely destroy bilateral relations. Responsibility for this rests entirely with the Polish side.
As a retaliatory measure following Poland's unfriendly move to expel Russian diplomats and under the principle of reciprocity, 45 officials from the Embassy of the Republic of Poland and its consulates-general in Irkutsk, Kaliningrad and St Petersburg have been declared personae non grata. They will have to leave the territory of the Russian Federation by midnight April 13. The relevant note was presented to the Ambassador of Poland to Russia.
