Poland’s foreign ministry has sent the Russian embassy in Warsaw an official note of protest against Moscow’s air attacks on Ukraine’s population following a strike which damaged the Polish consulate in Kyiv. In a social media post on Friday, the Polish foreign ministry said: “The [Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs] has handed a note to the Russian embassy protesting against the airstrikes on the population of [Ukraine]. As a result [of last night’s strikes], the building of [the Polish embassy in Ukraine] was damaged.” “The Ministry emphasized that it is a violation of international law, in particular the 1961 Vienna Convention,” it added. From Thursday night into Friday morning, Russia used around 550 drones and missiles to carry out its largest airstrike on Ukraine since the war began in 2022, according to the Ukrainian military, which added that 478 had been shot down by air defense systems. The attacks reportedly killed one person in Kyiv and injured 26, including a child. ‘Drones won’t scare us’ Following the strike, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski took to social media to say that he spoke with Poland’s chargé d’affaires to Ukraine, Piotr Łukasiewicz, who confirmed that there were no injuries at the damaged Polish embassy building. Sikorski added that “Ukraine urgently needs air defense resources.”
