KYIV, Ukraine — So many missiles were fired by Russia and Ukraine during the Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure Tuesday that the missile fragments that struck Poland could have been of either Russian or Ukrainian origin, Ukraine air force spokesman Yuriy Ignat said.
Whether the missile parts that struck Poland were Ukrainian or Russian is irrelevant, Ignat said, because Russia bears ultimate responsibility for attacking Ukraine.“Of course, it is necessary to investigate with Polish partners and put an end to this story, because to discuss one missile, which unfortunately killed people, is a great tragedy,” he said. “But everyone has forgotten that there were a hundred missiles in Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin’s comments in September that Russia was prepared to use “all available means” to win in Ukraine had triggered global alarm that he was contemplating nuclear strikes in an attempt to reverse Russian setbacks on the battlefield.
