Russian Ambassador Sergei Andreev, in an interview with the TASS agency, made an outrageous reference to the incident involving a Russian missile in Polish airspace. He was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw and demanded evidence from the representatives of the authorities of our country. “Since I understood from the reactions of my Polish colleagues that there would be no evidence this time, I decided that the meeting would be pointless in this situation and declined the invitation,” he said. A diplomatic note will be sent to Moscow.
After Sunday’s (and not the first!) incident involving a Russian missile in Polish airspace, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw. He didn’t show up.
“I declined the invitation.”
Russian Ambassador Sergei Andreev made this statement to the TASS news agency on Monday.
This morning they tried to summon me to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a meeting with one of the State Secretaries. The subject was said to be yesterday’s incident, when a Russian cruise missile crossed the Polish border, was in Polish airspace for 39 seconds and then flew away.
– he emphasized.
I asked if evidence would be presented and reminded them that similar claims had already been made on December 29 last year, and when we asked for evidence there was no response and we were still waiting for the evidence. But since I understood from the answers of my Polish colleagues that there would be no evidence this time, I decided that the meeting would be pointless in this situation and declined the invitation.
said Andreev.
Now they’re going to send us a note about this issue. It’s their right. When we receive it, we will consider it and perhaps respond
– added.
“Nothing new to add”
When asked by PAP about Andreev’s words, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson replied:
We have nothing new to add to this statement.
Please note that the message refers to the Vienna Convention and the ambassador’s duties, not what he does and does not recognize.
– he emphasized.
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna announced on Sunday that the Ambassador of the Russian Federation will be summoned by the Foreign Minister to provide explanations.
