Against the background of information about the alleged violation of the country’s airspace by a Russian missile, Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland Vasily Zvarych called for the acceleration of the armament of Ukraine. He wrote this on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
According to him, the situation with the incoming missile “is a serious threat to NATO countries, including Poland.” In this context, he called for “the removal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.”
“I call on the countries of the free world to accelerate the armament of Ukraine,” Zvarych wrote.
At the Polish Ministry of Defense on the morning of March 24 saidIt was stated that the country’s airspace was violated by a cruise missile allegedly launched by Russia’s long-range aviation. At 04:23 local time (06:23 Moscow time), a missile was detected near the city of Ocerdów, close to the Ukrainian border. The Ministry of Defense claims that the object remained in Poland for 39 seconds.
Later, Polish Armed Forces Operational Command Press Spokesperson Jacek Goryszewski statedIt was stated that the Polish army could not shoot down the missile because it remained in the country’s airspace for a very short time and was not within the range of land-based firearms.
Previously Poland reported the incident to NATO about the “missile coming from Russia”.
