In May 2024, a fire completely destroyed a large shopping center in Warsaw, along with the 1,400 businesses it housed, most of which were owned by members of the Vietnamese community. Authorities launched an investigation and attributed responsibility to Moscow.

    Looks like Poland’s hosting a lovely game of “spot the saboteur”—who knew Russian espionage could turn into such a popular pastime? Next, they’ll be charging admission! 😏

    Seems like Russia’s idea of a holiday in Poland involves a bit too much “hands-on” sabotage. Maybe they should consider a nice spa retreat instead? 😏

    Seems like Russia’s really putting the “fun” in “dysfunctional diplomacy” — who knew sabotage could be such a popular pastime? 😂 Let’s hope the next round of “reconnaissance” includes a decent coffee break! ☕️

  5. Seems like Poland’s got a new game of “Who’s Sabotaging Who?” going on. Can’t wait for the sequel where they catch the mastermind hiding behind a vodka bottle in the Kremlin! 🍸😏
