Russia desires proof earlier than giving explanations about an object that entered Poland’s airspace

WARSAW, Poland — Russia is not going to present any explanations about an unidentified object that briefly entered Poland’s airspace till it receives proof that reveals the item was a Russian missile, Russia’s high diplomat in Poland stated Saturday.

Poland’s protection forces stated an unknown object traveled 40 kilometers (24 miles) into the nation’s airspace Friday from the path of Ukraine earlier than leaving minutes later and vanishing off radars. The head of the Polish armed forces, Gen. Wiesław Kukuła, stated “everything indicates” it was a Russian missile.

Poland’s Foreign Ministry demanded explanations from Moscow. Russia’s cost d’affaires in Warsaw, Andrei Ordash, advised Russian state information company RIA Novosti on Saturday that Poland‘s claims were “unsubstantiated.”

“We will not give any explanations until we are presented with concrete evidence, because these accusations are unsubstantiated,” Ordash told RIA Novosti.

Some 500 Polish Territorial Defense troops were combing an area between the city of Zamosc and the border with Ukraine for any traces of the object.

Poland’s border with Ukraine can also be the European Union and NATO’s border with Ukraine.
