Poland election: Tusk to ask for a vote of confidence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karol_Nawrocki

In February 2024, he was listed as one of the persons wanted by the Russian Federation on criminal charges in relation to actions pertaining to the removal of monuments commemorating the presence of the Red Army on Polish territory in the years 1944–1989.

He was responsible for removing several Red Army monuments in Poland, considered a criminal act by Russia, which put him on its national wanted list.

The Russian Federation asserts judicial authority over removal of monuments in foreign countries?

I mean, when I first saw that, I thought that it was some sort of lingering charge from the Soviet era, but no, dude was born in 1983.

How serious is the sentence on this?

Russia puts Estonia prime minister on wanted list for destroying Soviet monuments

Russian state agency TASS said the Baltic officials were accused of "destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers", acts that are punishable by a five-year prison term under the Russian criminal code.

That's an actually significant sentence, too. All right, that's...certainly unusual.
