poland russian or ukrainian missile all history

Very high tension in the European chancelleries: a missile, whose origin is not clear, fell on Poland, a member of NATO. The rocket killed two people in the eastern village of Przewodów, on the border with Ukraine. It would not be a Russian bomb, but perhaps an anti-aircraft rocket from Ukraine.

US President Joe Biden reportedly told the G7 leaders as much, according to German news agency Dpa. Biden also reportedly clarified that it is an S-300 system missile. And after the emergency meeting in Bali with allies, Biden argued it was “unlikely” the missile would be launched from Russia. “This is due to the analysis of the trajectory, but I do not want to say that a real investigation into the incident has already been carried out.” Biden explained that along with the other leaders, it was unanimously decided to first investigate to understand exactly, and then collectively decide how to respond.

A NATO plane flying over Polish airspace tracked the missile, an Alliance military official told CNN. “Radar track information is now in the possession of NATO and Poland.” Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Alliance planes have carried out regular surveillance around Ukraine. The NATO official did not say who fired the missile or where it came from.

The G7: “Support for Poland”

Meanwhile, a joint statement by G7 and NATO leaders issued by the European Union condemns Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian towns and civilian infrastructure on 15 November. Extremely heavy attacks, especially on energy infrastructure. Lviv, part of kyiv and other cities are in the dark. The G7 also discussed the explosion caused by the missile that fell in eastern Poland, near the border with Ukraine. “We offer all our support and assistance to the ongoing investigation in Poland. We agree to stay in close contact to determine appropriate next steps as the investigation progresses,” the G7 and NATO leaders explained.

Erdogan: “We need caution”

“You shouldn’t insist that the missile that fell in Poland was launched by Russia, that would be a provocation,” Turkish President Erdogan said in Bali, where the G20 is taking place. Erdogan recalled Biden’s remarks, the G7-NATO statement, and that of Moscow, which says it “has nothing to do with the incident” in Poland. “It is possible that it was a technical error,” Erdogan said. “We need to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table as soon as possible. Peace can only come from dialogue, we are attached to it. As soon as I return, I will be on the phone with Putin,” added the Turkish president.

Zelensky: “Russian attack on Poland”

For his part, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in a new video address broadcast on November 16 at the G20 in Bali, said that the completed missile attack on Poland constitutes “a real message from Russia to the G20 “. But China calls on “all parties for calm”, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.
