“I don’t want to say it until we fully investigate it, but it is unlikely, due to the trajectory, that it was fired from Russia,” said the US president.
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, assures that it is unlikely that the missile that fell on Polish territory this Tuesday was fired from Russia.
«There is preliminary information that refutes that. I don’t want to say it until we fully investigate it, but It is unlikely, due to the trajectorywhich was fired from Russia,” the president told a group of journalists from the G20 summit, which is taking place on the Indonesian island of Bali.
His statements come shortly following having called an emergency meeting to discuss the issue with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain, Japan and the Netherlands, which was also attended by senior officials and representatives of the European Commission and the European Union.
Prior to that meeting, Biden spoke with his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda. “We agreed to support Poland’s investigation into the explosion in rural Poland near the border with Ukraine, and I will make sure to find out exactly what happened,” he said in dialogue with the media.
“We will collectively determine our next step as we investigate and proceed,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense denied having attacked targets near the Ukrainian-Polish border and described reports regarding the fall of alleged Russian missiles on Polish territory as “a deliberate provocation with the aim of escalating the situation.”
