The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time, Poland’s foreign ministry confirmed.
Earlier in the day, Warsaw announced it would revoke consent for the Russian consulate in Kraków to operate, citing evidence that Russian intelligence was behind a recent fire at the Marywilska shopping center in the capital.
A formal diplomatic note informing Russia of the consulate’s closure will be delivered later today, the ministry added.
The move marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries, following a similar closure of the Russian consulate in Poznań earlier this year over comparable accusations.
Poland's top diplomat, Radosław Sikorski, addressed the Russian government in a statement shared on social media, saying: "I have a message for the Russian authorities: we know what you are doing, we do not accept it, and we are taking action."
