“We advocate for a joint examination of the incident with the missile’s landing in Poland,” Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said on Twitter.

“We are ready to hand over evidence of the Russian trace that we have. We are expecting information from our partners, based on which a conclusion was made that it’s a Ukrainian air defense missile.”

The Russian defense ministry said the strike was caused by Ukraine’s air defense system and referred to claims that “Russian missiles” were to blame as “a intentional provocation with the objective of worsening the situation.”

Ihnat also brought up the episode at the end of October when a Russian missile that the Ukrainian military had intercepted struck a Moldovan village.

“This is a really resonant situation, but this is not the first time,” he said. In that case, he explained a Russian missile was downed by Kyiv “after crossing the Ukrainian border with Moldova. The wreckage of a missile fell on the territory of Moldova.”
