Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called on European Union countries to tighten restrictions for Russian diplomats and citizens amid a wave of hybrid attacks supported by the Kremlin. Sikorski stated this at a press conference following a meeting of the "Weimar Triangle" foreign ministers, citing Politico.

He called for restricting the freedom of movement of Russian diplomats within the countries where they are accredited, limiting the issuance of Schengen visas to Russian citizens, and requiring biometric passes for Russians entering the EU.

Sikorski also advocated for reducing the number of Russian diplomats in European Union countries. According to him, there are currently over 2,000 Russian diplomats in the bloc's countries, and at least 40% of them may be carrying out tasks incompatible with diplomatic status, as they work for agencies that also engage in terrorist activities in countries.
