NATO confirms that missile that fell in Poland was from Ukraine
Yet Stoltenberg hypocritically and cowardly continues to blame Russia, putting the world on the brink of nuclear war.
Poland will not invoke the NATO article that provides for consultations between allies when territorial integrity is threatened.
The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jen Stoltenberg, specified this Wednesday that the fall of a projectile in Poland was probably caused by Ukraine's air defense, and ruled out that Russia wanted to attack the military alliance. .
According to the entity, there is no indication that the projectile was the result of a deliberate attack, or that Russia is preparing offensive military actions against NATO.
Likewise, he appreciated the fact that this time more members of the military bloc were willing to provide defense systems. Stoltenberg asked in any case to wait for the results of the investigation that is underway and stressed that, although "we must react quickly ", you also have to "keep calm and avoid escalation".
"Let me be clear, this is not Ukraine's fault, Russia bears the ultimate responsibility as it continues its operation against the neighboring country," the executive said.
It should be remembered that the missile was detected last Tuesday, after hitting the Polish town of Przewodów, in the province of Lublin, which is located near the border with Ukraine, in facilities for drying grains, where two fatalities were recorded. .
In its early days, several reports emerged that the missile that fell on Polish territory was Russian, and it was suggested that it would be a direct attack on a NATO country to which the alliance should respond.
For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry pointed out that the statements by various Ukrainian sources and foreign officials about the alleged fall of Russian missiles are a deliberate provocation aimed at escalating the situation.
In this sense, the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, stated this Wednesday at the G20 summit that the data shows that Russia had nothing to do with the fall of a missile in Poland and that he "shows respect and believes" in the Moscow position.
According to the president, several NATO countries discussed the incident and came to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with Russia. "I consider it necessary to carry out an additional investigation," he stressed after a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
In another order of things, Ukraine requested this Wednesday "immediate access" to the place in Poland where a missile fell on Tuesday, and which, according to Warsaw, is "very likely" to be a Ukrainian anti-aircraft projectile.
"Ukraine requests immediate access to the crash site for defense representatives and border guards," the secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, claimed on Twitter, adding that he wanted a "joint examination of the incident." .
