Anti-Russia narrative
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.
Pro-Russia narrative
These are ordinary diplomatic staff carrying out routine trade and diplomatic functions. The allegation that these individuals are spies is baseless.
