Poland began to seize Russian real estate in the country. This was reported by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), reports RIA News.
It is noted that the process of seizure of property began in Warsaw. In particular, this will affect the school building at the Russian embassy. Another building was previously occupied by Russian diplomats but is now unoccupied and in need of repair. According to the department, the two properties that will be seized in the first place are in the possession of Russia illegally.
Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev said that this situation needs to be sorted out. According to him, the embassy heard the information that comes there on this issue. “Tomorrow we will deal with its legal aspects,” he said.

According to the press secretary of the Russian diplomatic mission, Vladimir Alexandrov, a protest will be sent to the Polish Foreign Ministry in connection with the incident.

Embassy in Ukraine
On February 23, the national flag of Russia was lowered from the building of the Russian embassy in Kyiv. The fact that Russian diplomats would soon leave Ukraine became known shortly before that. The Russian Foreign Ministry explained this by a desire to protect the lives of employees of diplomatic missions, since since 2014 the embassy in Kyiv, the consulates general in Odessa, Lvov and Kharkov have been subjected to repeated attacks.
On February 14, the US authorities also made a decision to temporarily transfer their embassy in Ukraine. As explained by the head of the State Department Anthony Blinken, the reason was the “dramatic acceleration of the buildup of Russian forces” on the border with Ukraine.
