President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for Ukraine's allies to share"all the data" held on the missile that landed in Poland, which Kyiv insists was fired by Russia, a claim contradicted by Warsaw.
Mr Zelensky had earlier said Kyiv had not seen proof that the missile was Ukrainian and that it was imperative that Kyiv become part of an investigation. Russia this afternoon summoned the Polish ambassador to the foreign ministry in Moscow, a ministry spokeswoman confirmed. Ms Sochanska said it is believed to have been an accident but that Russia’s actions were ultimately responsible.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said the missile that struck a village in Poland killing two people was probably not fired from Russia. Asked if the missile had been fired from Russia, Mr Biden said there was"preliminary information that contests that". "We condemn the barbaric missile attacks that Russia perpetrated on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure on Tuesday.
The head of the permanent mission of Russia to the United Nations also described the incident as an attempt to provoke a direct clash between Russia and NATO. Speaking by video link, Mr Zelensky called the strike"a true statement brought by Russia for the G20 summit", according to a copy of his speech seen by AFP.
Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, Anna Sochanska said a Russian strike on Polish soil would be a strike on NATO, and as such would warrant response.
