Kremlin says it regrets Polish decision to close last operating Russian consulate

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that it regretted Warsaw's decision to close Russia's last operating consulate in Poland, in Gdansk, a move it said showed a lack of common sense. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said earlier on Wednesday that he would withdraw consent for the functioning of the consulate in response to a sabotage attack on a railway line that Poland has blamed on Russian intelligence.

The Kremlin has responded to the allegation by accusing Poland of "Russophobia".
