The Russian government accused this Wednesday in the UN a Ukraine Already Poland to try to provoke “direct confrontation” Come in Russia and the NATO by blaming Moscow for the fall of a missile on Polish territory, which left two dead.

The diplomat especially criticized the words of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who has insisted on holding Russia responsible for the missile and has called for an international response against Moscow.

According to Nebenzia, Zelensky’s messages are not just a “attempt to misinform, but rather a conscious attempt to involve NATO, which is conducting a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, in a direct conflict with our country.”

The Russian ambassador also attacked the authorities “Russophobes” from Poland for initially pointing to Moscow as responsible and considered that they only changed their version due to the appearance of photographs “which left no doubt that it was Ukrainian air defense missiles that crossed into Poland.”

Polish President Andrzej Duda assured this Wednesday that “It is probable” that the missile that hit the territory of his country “out released by Ukraine” and said that “nothing indicates” that it was a “intentional attack against Poland”which points to the error hypothesis, a version supported by NATO and the US.

Today’s UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, convened in advance of the incident, largely focused on this episode, with Western powers stressing that – even if the missile was not Russian – the incident is partly responsibility of Moscow.

“While we still don’t know all the facts, we do know one thing: this tragedy has never happened without Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its recent missile attack on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.”said the US ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

Poland, invited to the meeting, expressed itself in the same vein, stressing that without war there would have been no missile, and defended its investigation and its preliminary results that suggest that the missile was not a deliberate act.

The representative of Ukraine, Sergiy Kyslytsya, avoided taking responsibility for what happened in Poland and said that his country “supports a full and transparent investigation to establish all the facts of this tragic incident.”

In her speech, Kyslytsya denounced the campaign of attacks carried out by Russia in recent days in numerous parts of Ukraine, which she considered a “revenge” of Russian President Vladimir Putin for the “defeats” military and diplomatic that has suffered.

Other countries on the Security Council, especially Western powers, also condemned these attacks on civilian targets, which the UN says have damaged up to 40% of Ukraine’s electricity generation capacity just as winter arrives.

“As Russia seeks to escalate the war, millions of people in Ukraine tonight face the prospect of a dark and freezing winter, without reliable access to water, heat, electricity and other basic services.”said Irish Ambassador Fergal Mythen.
