Just hours after NATO’s leadership announced that a “preliminary” investigation into a fatal strike in Poland Tuesday was “likely” caused by Ukrainian air defenses and not a deliberate Russian attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is doubling down and insisting that Ukraine is not responsible.
“I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike. We have to participate in the investigation,” Zelensky said, according to NEXTA.
Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, shared a tweet claiming that allegations the Ukrainian air defense was behind the hit in Poland were false and a “conspiracy theory” on Tuesday. The tweet had not been removed as of Wednesday, despite NATO’s announcement that Ukraine was “likely” behind the incident.
