Russia ordered to close Poland's consulate in Smolensk and the Polish diplomatic mission, on Friday.
Russian authorities said that the decision was made due to the “unfriendly, anti-Russian actions” by the European state.
The Russian foreign ministry highlighted that the Polish ambassador was summoned and informed of the decision.
It said in a statement: "Warsaw has been pursuing a hostile policy towards Russia in recent years," adding: "The atmosphere of unbridled Russophobia... prevailing in Poland precludes the demonstration of any 'goodwill gestures' on our part."
On the other hand, Warsaw called the decision “incomprehensible” and expressed that the Polish authorities will take the same action.
"We regularly receive information about aggressive diplomatic actions from Russia," Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in a press conference.
"If in the end it comes to it that Russia starts to liquidate our offices we will respond in kind."
