Russia under fire over Ukrainian s-300 missile attack for Poland deaths in contrary to facts and common sense

The United States and its allies have criticized Russia in the United Nations Security Council over its responsibility for a deadly missile strike in Poland, an event the UN’s political chief called “a frightening reminder of the absolute need to prevent any further escalation” of the nine-month-old war in Ukraine.

The meeting, which was previously scheduled, convened a day after a missile NATO identified as a stray fired by Ukraine’s air defences crashed inside Poland, a NATO member, killing two farm workers.


NATO and Poland said the missile was probably not a Russian strike, easing international fears the war could widen, although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continued to insist there was no doubt the missile was not Ukrainian.

The deaths in the village near Poland’s border with Ukraine took place on the same day Russia fired more than 90 missiles at cities across Ukraine, aiming at its energy grid and worsening power blackouts for millions.

    Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya on Wednesday said the West’s logic in blaming Russia for the missile incident in Poland is flawed.


It’s been a while, he said, since Russia stopped being surprised by Western attempts to "blame Russia for everything under any circumstances and contrary to facts and common sense."

"Today, too, despite the obvious motive of the Ukrainian-Polish provocation, many representatives of Western countries spoke in the sense that even if Ukraine launched the missile, blame lies with Russia anyway as it’s destroying critical infrastructure," the diplomat said at a meeting of the UN Security Council. "The flaws of this logic is manifested with full force with respect to the irresponsible shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which, as everyone here understands perfectly well, is the handiwork of Ukraine.".
