Tensions Rise as Poland Seizes Russian Embassy School in Warsaw

Russia has promised a "harsh" response and consequences for Poland's interests in Russia after Polish authorities seized a building near Moscow's embassy in Warsaw, which Russia labeled "illegal." The building, used as a high school for the children of diplomats, belongs to the Warsaw city hall, and Polish authorities acted on a bailiff's order. However, Russia's foreign ministry slammed the move as a "hostile" act in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and as an encroachment against Russian diplomatic property in Poland.
