Were the missiles Russian or Ukrainian
The major news on Tuesday was the impact of two missiles on Polish soil, resulting in the deaths of Polish citizens. Amid the crisis of Ukrainian defenders battling Russian aggressors, this particular event overshadowed all other news, given Poland’s membership in NATO.
In the initial hours after this news broke, military experts held their breath, and many prominent military and security figures in the West rushed to give numerous interviews to restore calm and warn against any hasty actions in response to this event.
Joe Biden, who is in Indonesia, after his meetings and discussions with various officials and a session with his aides and subordinates, announced that it is possible these missiles were not fired from Russia and were Ukrainian missiles that went off course.
The President of Poland and his Ukrainian counterpart have already blamed Russia for this incident.
Andrzej Duda, the President of Poland, is likely to activate Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty on Wednesday, which means formally raising a military and security issue at an emergency level and reviewing it among NATO members.
