Russia’s Foreign Ministry statement on Poland’s accusations of Russia
Moscow : In connection with accusations against Russia over the alleged intentional violation of the airspace of the Republic of Poland by Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) during a combined precision strike delivered at the military infrastructure of the Kiev regime last night, we would like to draw your attention to a statement issued by the Defence Ministry of Russia on September 10.
The Defence Ministry has unequivocally reaffirmed that the strike did not include any targets in the territory of the Republic of Poland, and that the range of the drones that delivered a strike at the Ukrainian defence industry facilities, which, according to Warsaw, entered Poland’s airspace, is below 700 kilometres.
These facts overturn the myths which Poland is spreading again to aggravate the Ukrainian crisis.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had to confirm this. Speaking after a meeting of the NATO Council under Article 4 of the NATO Treaty held at Poland’s request, he failed to provide any answer regarding any proof of “intent” behind that “incident.” He only said that “a full assessment is ongoing.”
Despite the obvious inconsistency of Warsaw’s allegations, and seeking to fully clarify the incident for all sides interested in preventing the further escalation of the situation, the Defence Ministry of the Russian Federation has stated readiness to hold consultations on this issue with the Defence Ministry of the Republic of Poland. The Foreign Ministry of Russia is ready to contribute to these efforts.
