In response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s assertion that a Ukrainian missile was not to blame for a deadly explosion in Poland on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden responded on Thursday.

After coming back from the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, Biden told reporters at the White House, “that’s not the evidence.

Approximately 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) west of the Ukrainian border, in the remote eastern Polish village of Przewodow, a rocket on Tuesday caused the deaths of two farmers.

In response to rounds of Russian missile attacks on Tuesday, Polish officials have suggested that it is possible a Ukrainian missile that was launched by their air defences fell into Polish territory.

Zelensky’s remarks Zelensky said he didn’t think the rocket was Ukrainian while speaking to media on Wednesday.

“I have no doubt that it was not our missile,” he stated.

Later, Zelensky stated in his daily video message that the UN Security Council must now handle the “clarification of all the circumstances of how Russian aggression crossed the Polish border.” He claimed to have called with Polish President Andrzej Duda and offered his condolences, but he asserted the deaths of the two Polish nationals were the result of “Russian aggression.”

Zelensky said, “The Ukrainian position is very transparent: we want to establish all the details, every fact. That is why we need our experts to join the work of the international investigation and to get access to all the data available to our partners and to the site of the explosion.”

Warsaw initially claimed responsibility, which could have prompted NATO to invoke Article 5, which states that an attack on one country is considered an attack on all of them, resulting in a collective defence effort.

Western leaders, including the US, have now stated that it was most likely launched by Ukrainian air defence, easing fears that the strike would drag NATO into direct conflict with Russia while also providing Vladimir Putin with an excuse to lash out at the West.

The president of Ukraine was cited as saying on Wednesday that he was certain that a bombing in Poland that claimed the lives of two persons was not the result of a Ukrainian missile.

He declared, “I have no doubt that it was not our missile,” adding that he thought a Russian missile was to blame for Tuesday’s explosion. He added that he had drawn his conclusions from military reports from Ukraine that he “cannot but trust.”

Zelensky also stated that in his opinion, Ukraine ought to have already been granted access to the explosion site so that they could take part in the examination of the explosion’s debris to determine the location of the alleged missile.

Meanwhile, Poland installed barbed wire along its border with Russia earlier today, following the fatal incident on Tuesday afternoon.
