Russia: Poland damaged Europe’s security system

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova emphasized on Tuesday at a press briefing that Poland is undermining the whole security system of Europe with its decision to ban the presence of Russian diplomats at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), APA’s Moscow correspondent reports.

“We are talking not just about Poland as a state but as a country that chairs the OSCE and must ensure equal working conditions for all member countries. Poland strikes at the very system of organization, security, and cooperation in Europe,” Zakharova stressed.

The spokeswoman accused Poland of “destroying this negotiating platform” as it is not allowing those with different views to participate in the discussions.
