MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The minister-counselor of the Polish embassy in Moscow was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry over the desecration of Soviet soldier graves in the eastern Polish town of Garwolin, the ministry said on Friday.
"On November 27, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the minister-counselor of the Polish embassy in Moscow, to whom we stated a strong protest and outrage over another act of vandalism against the Soviet military graves," the statement reads.
The incident took place on Wednesday at a military cemetery in Garwolin, where the remains of over 10,000 Red Army soldiers, who died on Polish soil during World War II, are buried.
Moscow has repeatedly protested the demolition of Soviet monuments in Poland in recent months.
