He said this in an interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien.
As the Foreign Minister said, Ukraine openly participates in the investigation of the incident together with the Polish services.
“We’ve heard political claims that it’s a Ukrainian air defense missile, but we haven’t seen any evidence. “There is information in our army that this is not our missile,” Kuleba said.
The Minister emphasized that Kiev is ready for mutual exchange of information, then plans to come to common conclusions and adopt them, even if they do not comply with the version of the Ukrainian side.
