Duda insists on resolute reaction because of attack on Polish Consulate General in Lutsk
Polish President Andrzej Duda says that the attack on the Consulate General in Lutsk should not be underestimated and insists on resolute reaction.
An attack on the Polish consulate in Lutsk absolutely can not be underestimated. A shot from a grenade launcher and the damage following it in the building, fortunately, did not lead to casualties. This is not the issue after which we can proceed with the agenda, it requires a decisive interference," he said at a meeting with representatives of the Armenian community, the website of the president says.
Duda said that the attack on the Consulate General in Ukraine is not only a matter of the state, it is a matter of diplomatic security and safety of our fellow citizens.
He also apologized for being late, explaining that he had a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko about the attack on the Consulate General in Lutsk.
As earlier reported, in the early hours of March 29 unknown persons shelled the premises of the Consulate General of Poland in Lutsk from the backyard. A criminal inquiry under the 'terrorist act' Criminal Code article over the shelling and a blast in the Polish Consulate General building in Lutsk was opened.
Poroshenko in a telephone conversation with the Polish president condemned brutal and cynical attack on the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Lutsk and offered to involve Polish experts in the investigation to detect the perpetrators of this crime. The president informed that he instructed to enhance the security of both diplomatic missions to Ukraine and historic sites.
"The two leaders agreed that no provocations should affect the friendly nature of the Ukraine-Poland relations. The interlocutors agreed to continue contacts at the highest level," the press-service of the president said.
