Zelensky’s Accusations Land Back On His Doorstep

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky told G20 leaders that there was a “terrorist state” among them, accusing Russia of a missile strike on Poland that killed two people.

Speaking by video link, Zelensky called the strike “a true statement brought by Russia for the G20 summit”, meanwhile Poland has said there is no clear evidence on who launched the missile.

Zelensky’s allies have moved cautiously, with Biden saying any response would come only after an investigation.

“We’re going to make sure we figure out exactly what happened… and then we’re going to collectively determine our next step,” He also said “preliminary information” suggested the missile had not been launched from Russia.

Upon further investigation, Jens Stoltenberg, secretary general of the NATO military alliance, said the early results indicated that an explosion on Polish territory was caused by Ukrainian air defences.

“Our preliminary analysis suggests that the incident was likely caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile fired to defend Ukrainian territory against Russian cruise missile attacks,” Stoltenberg told reporters after a meeting of NATO allies in Brussels.

Russia continued to maintain its innocence through the onslaught.
