"We have full confidence in the Polish government's investigation into the explosion," Austin said. "We are still collecting information, but we haven't seen anything that contradicts President Duda's initial assessment, that is, the explosion was probably caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile that unfortunately landed in Poland." According to the report, Mark Millie, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff who attended the press conference, also said that American experts in Poland are assisting in the investigation, and "the information we obtained supports" the results of the Polish investigation.
On the other hand, according to the national defense news network, Austin, while expressing support for Poland's preliminary assessment, also claimed: "No matter what the final conclusion is, the whole world knows that Russia bears the ultimate responsibility for this incident." The American public television network claimed that Austin said this because "Russia invaded Ukraine."
In addition, according to CNN, Thomas Satkovsky, the Polish ambassador to NATO, also accused Russia of saying that this incident would not have happened if Russia had not attacked Ukraine and committed war crimes. For the incident in which a missile landed on Polish territory and killed two people, "the ultimate responsibility lies with Russia".
According to media reports such as Polish TV, the missile hit a farm near the border between Poland and Ukraine at 5438+0 15 local time, killing two people.
The Russian Ministry of Defence refuted the statement that "Russian missiles attacked Poland", saying that it was a deliberate provocation and escalated the situation. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement: "Russia has not carried out any devastating attacks on targets near the border between Ukraine and Poland."
According to Agence France-Presse 16, Polish President Duda said that the missiles that landed in Poland "probably" came from the Ukrainian air defense system. He also said that this incident "may be an accident."

In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the missile landed in Poland and two civilians were killed. It happened at local time 165438+ 10/5.
It happened very suddenly.
Poland immediately claimed that the exploded missile was made in Russia and announced that some military units had improved their combat readiness.
"Russia Today" quoted photos of the explosion scene released by social media.
For Poland, it is not surprising to make such a move. After all, Ukraine is its neighbor, and Russia such as Kaliningrad also borders Poland. Under the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it is understandable for Poland to prevent the war from spreading to itself and improve its combat readiness.
However, after the explosion, Poland alleged that the missile might be made in Russia, which made some western media once again point their finger at Russia. Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian National Security Council, quickly wrote on Twitter that western countries are launching a "mixed war" against Russia, which will bring the outbreak of World War III a step closer.

Interestingly, US President Biden, who is attending the G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, called an emergency round table of the G-7, followed by a press conference, and simply said-
The explosion in Poland was caused by Ukrainian missiles.
When this was said, it seemed that a world war that was about to detonate was lifted.
So, is Biden's words useful, or is the West not ready for a full-scale war with Russia? Why did Ukrainian missiles fall into Poland?
Biden and G7 countries held an emergency round table meeting in Bali.

Biden himself said that the missile that landed in Przevodov village in Lublin province in eastern Poland came from Ukraine's air defense system. This is consistent with the Russian statement. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, from the pictures of the missile wreckage, the missile came from Ukraine's S-300 air defense system.
It can be seen that the analysis of the United States and Russia is similar. But what is rare is that the president of the United States clearly decided for the first time that this matter has nothing to do with Russia. At the press conference after the G7 emergency round table, when a reporter continued to ask Biden further why he said that the missile came from the Ukrainian military, the answer was that the security guard asked the reporter to leave.
The situation of the G7 emergency round table disclosed on the White House website.
Outside the G7, the words of Turkish President Erdogan, a NATO country and a member of G20, are even more hit the floor.
"We must respect the Russian statement. Russia said that they were not involved, which is very important to us. "
Haisir would like to say that since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Turkey has not always acted as a mediator, and even invited representatives of Russia and Ukraine to Istanbul for peace talks. But it must also be noted that Turkey, the United States and Poland are all NATO countries. Within NATO, if a country's security is threatened, an offensive and defensive alliance will be formed between countries. The Turkish President made these remarks during the G-20 meeting, which to some extent represents the overall view of NATO.
Tass news agency: Indonesian President Joko greeted Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov in Nusa Dua, Bali.
You know, Russian President Vladimir Putin finally decided not to go to Indonesia to attend this year's G20 summit because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the attitude of the West, such as the G7 countries. The Russian side sent a delegation led by Foreign Minister Lavrov.
In fact, Indonesian President Joko visited Moscow and Kiev earlier and invited Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky from non-G20 countries to attend the meeting in Indonesia. But in the end? Before the opening of G20, Zoco could only wave his hand and say "I am too difficult".
Lavrov arrived in Bali, and the first time he arrived was the Associated Press. A group of western media said that he was taken to the hospital. It was immediately proved to be a rumor.
All kinds of situations make people feel at first glance-anyway, the Russian delegation is not liked by some people in the West.
However, under such circumstances, Biden was able to make it clear at the first time that the missiles that landed in Poland came from Ukraine, which shows that this confirmation is very important to NATO.

Haisir pointed out that before Biden publicly confirmed that the missile came from Ukraine, he also had a telephone conversation with Polish President andrzej duda. Biden listened to Duda's briefing on the scene after the missile explosion, and told Poland that the United States' support for NATO is unwavering. At the same time, Biden once again claimed to support Ukraine in resisting Russia, including continuing to provide air defense systems to Ukraine.

Interestingly, Jack jack sullivan, the US national security adviser who accompanied Biden on the phone with Duda, said in a statement that "the United States strongly condemns the recent Russian missile attacks on Ukraine, which seem to have hit residential buildings in Kiev and other parts of Ukraine".
Sullivan did not forget to say that at present, the United States participates in the G-20 in Bali to discuss the lives and livelihoods of people all over the world. At this time, Russia is more worthy of condemnation.
What do you think of the statements made by the President of the United States and the National Security Adviser?
Haisir thinks-
1. Biden stressed that the missile that landed in Poland was not launched by Russia, but from Ukraine. In other words, this incident cannot be regarded as Russian aggression against Poland. Therefore, it does not constitute Russian aggression against NATO. In other words, there is no need for Poland to immediately counterattack Russia, and NATO will not immediately take military action against Russia.
Sullivan's words show the positions of the United States and NATO at the same time. This means that the missile explosion in Poland is still related to Russia's military action against Ukraine. If Russia does not attack Ukraine, Ukraine will not launch anti-aircraft missiles, and no missiles will fall into Poland.
3. Poland may have its own ideas about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and some people may want to take a chestnut from the fire, but since the United States has such a statement, Poland will not dare to move.

Why does Poland have its own ideas about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? We should know that in the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Poland issued special passports to Ukrainian citizens, and admitted that Ukrainians who were willing to get such passports were Polish citizens without voting rights. In today's western Ukraine, it was once a part of Poland in history. If Ukraine is dismembered, Poland seems to have ideas about these places. If the missile falls into your own territory and you simply send troops to Ukraine, what benefits will you get? There may be no one in Poland who hasn't thought about it. However, Poland has joined NATO and must be bound by NATO. Since America, the "big brother", has set the tone, Poland will definitely stay put for the time being.

There is a saying in Poland that seems to be confirmed by Russia. That is-it was indeed a Russian missile that exploded. Russia claimed that it was the Ukrainian S-300 missile that landed in Poland. This kind of missile was developed as early as the Soviet era. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the S-300 was equipped not only with Russian troops, but also with Ukrainian troops.
S-300 missiles equipped by the Ukrainian army
In this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, not only S-300 missiles, MIG -29 aircraft, T-72 tanks and other equipment have similar situations-not only Russian troops, but also Ukrainian troops.
Can it be analyzed by "brothers addicted to the wall"? It's hard to say. Although Russia and Ukraine share the same ancestry to some extent, the contradiction has intensified to this point, and where the two countries will go in the future is actually a test of the great wisdom of the two countries.
Now, I still hope that the peace talks will start as soon as possible, the conflict will end as soon as possible and the tragedy will end as soon as possible!
