Western countries, which support Ukraine in the war with Russia, are inclined to believe that the missiles that struck Poland were Ukrainian. President of Poland Andrezej Duda characterized the incident as “an accident” and suggested that, most likely, the missiles were a Soviet-made type used by Ukrainian air defense. President of the United States Joe Biden said it was “unlikely” that the missile was launched from Russian territory.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that Russian specialists, based on a photo from the site of the strike, identified an S-300 surface-to-air missile from the Ukrainian military.
