The news follows an attack on the Polish consulate in Lutsk, in western Ukraine, earlier in the week.
Resuming consular activities “depends on meeting the condition of ensuring security for Polish diplomatic missions, safe activity for Polish diplomats, and security for consular clients,” the Polish ambassador to Ukraine Jan Piekło told Polish Radio.
