Ukrainian experts are already racing after a missile explosion that killed two other people in Poland this week.
Amid a Russian barrage of missile movements through Ukraine on Tuesday, a missile exited Ukrainian airspace and landed in the town of Przewodow, Poland, which is about six kilometers from the border. Initial research across the U. S. The US, NATO and Poland discovered that the errant missile component of Ukraine’s air defense and not a Russian missile. Ukrainian leaders disagree.
U. S. CONFIRMS ATTACK IN POLAND ‘LIKELY RESULT OF UKRAINE’S AIR DEFENSE MISSILE’
“Ukrainian experts are already rushing in the face of the Przewodow tragedy caused by the terror of Russian missiles opposed to Ukraine,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter on Friday. “I am grateful to the Polish side for granting them access. We will continue our cooperation in an open and constructive manner, as will our closest friends.
After the attack, concerns were immediately expressed about the option of World War III breaking out, given Poland’s NATO alliance club. These fears were dispelled after the initial investigation and officials said the attack was not deliberate.
“There is no indication that this is an intentional attack on Poland. It’s probably a Russian-made S-300 rocket,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said Wednesday, later noting that there is a “high probability” that it will be an air defense missile of Ukrainian forces. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters the same thing, saying they had noticed no evidence “that contradicts Duda’s initial assessment. “
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has continuously said the rocket did not come from its air defense systems, said his country “insisted” on being included in the joint foreign investigation in an appearance at Bloomberg’s New Economy Forum earlier this week.
He gave the impression of retracting the passionate rhetoric saying, “I don’t know what happened. We don’t know for sure. The world doesn’t know,” according to CNN.

Austin, when asked about Zelensky’s denials, said, “The investigation is still ongoing,” adding, “So we’re going to get ahead of the investigation, but you know, our data confirms what President Duda said earlier in his initial assessment. . . However, I will let the investigation take a position here. “
U. S. officials are not allowed to do so. The U. S. and NATO have made it clear that they still blame Russia for creating the situations in which Ukraine is required to activate its air defense systems.
