BREAKING: Polish President Duda says there was 'no indication' that deadly blast near Ukraine border was an 'intentional attack' on his country and says it was likely caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile.
It is"time for Europe to close the sky" over Ukraine after the deadly blast in Poland, Zelenskyy adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said Wednesday.
The Biden administration had been hoping the summit, which brought together the world’s 20 largest economies, would produce a communiqué that strongly condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, with as many nations as possible signing on. In another passage that seems at least partly aimed at Putin, the statement says “the use or threat of nuclear weapons is inadmissible.” The Russian president has denied that he intends to use nuclear weapons to, but he raised alarms in September when he warned that he was prepared to use “all means available to protect Russia.”
Kuleba has accused Russia of peddling a “conspiracy theory” by suggesting that the strike in Poland was caused by an errant Ukrainian air defense missile. “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages,” he said earlier on Twitter.Poland's neighboring NATO and European Union allies responded with a mixture of patient concern and anger to the explosion Tuesday.
Alar Karis, the president of Estonia, said he was in contact with the Polish president and would consult on"further activities."Willy Kurniawan / AFP - Getty Images
