1in.am On the night of July 30, Russia launched massive missile and drone strikes against Ukraine. During the attack, one of the missiles exploded on Polish territory. «At this moment, everything indicates that we are dealing with a Russian X 101 ballistic missile,» said Polish Prime Minister Tusk at the opening of a crisis management meeting in Lublin.
On July 29, a meeting took place in Lublin between the Prime Minister of Poland and the President of Ukraine. There is currently no information about any substantive agreements. Earlier, relations between Kyiv and Warsaw had soured regarding the decision to strip Ukrainian President Zelensky of the Polish highest award, the «White Eagle» medal, and the Tusk-Zelensky negotiations can already be considered positive.
In connection with the explosion of a Russian ballistic missile on Polish territory, the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Sybiha, stated that «this once again proves that Ukraine's air defense is a vital necessity and serves as a guarantee of the protection of European solidarity.» According to Sybiha, this fact also indicates that there can be nothing more important for Poland and Ukraine than to confront our permanent enemy, as it poses a direct threat to both of our nations.»
Russia has not yet expressed an official position regarding the «missile incident.» The TASS state agency has «rebuked» Polish Prime Minister Tusk for «not waiting for the results of the investigation» and has unequivocally stated that the «object found near the settlement of Tarnawka-Kolonia in the Lublin Voivodeship was allegedly a Russian cruise missile.» Apparently, this is Moscow's official stance. The question remains whether the Polish side will agree to the idea of «conducting a joint investigation» with Russia or will accept Ukraine's proposal to «jointly fight against the permanent enemy, Russia.»
It should be noted that on the eve of the Tusk-Zelensky meeting, Russian President Putin spoke about the «rights» of Poland, Hungary, and Romania over the western regions of Ukraine, as they were «gifted to Ukraine by Stalin» after World War II.
