Poland said the missile that landed in a village near the Ukrainian border, leaving two people dead, was “very likely” caused by Kyiv’s air defenses.
On Tuesday, military officials said that Russia fired more than 90 missiles into Ukraine. Despite 77 of the strikes being shot down, some hit the city of Lviv — a city closer to Poland’s border.However, Russia denied any involvement in launching the missiles that struck Poland and criticized Western countries for reacting “hysterically” but noted that Biden had shown restraint, Reuters reported.
This comes after Ukraine dismissed allegations that one of its missiles struck Poland as a “conspiracy theory.” “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages,” Ukraine’s foreign minister. “This lesson should have been long learnt since the downing of MH17.” Earlier on Wednesday, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accused Russia of showing “utter contempt” for the international order and said the strike in Poland never would have happened “without the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”
