Russia is violating the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations by giving diplomatic status to individuals working as intelligence officers in Poland. Given that Russia is a direct threat and has shown what it's capable of in Ukraine, these measures are necessary.
These are ordinary diplomatic staff carrying out routine trade and diplomatic functions. The allegation that these individuals are spies is baseless.
