After being questioned by Biden, Zelensky changed his mind: I'm not 100% sure.

Where did the missile that was bombed to Poland come from?

After US President Biden once again questioned the Ukrainian side's statement, Ukrainian President Zelensky seemed to soften his words, saying that he was "not 1 0,000%" and knew the whole story.

However, while all parties are arguing and worrying, the adviser in the office of the President of Ukraine said that the incident that killed two Polish civilians is a "good story" and it will prompt NATO to take a tougher attitude towards Russia.

After being questioned by Biden, Zelensky changed his mind: I'm not 100% sure.

According to Bloomberg 17, Zelensky Online said at the Bloomberg Innovation Economic Forum held in Singapore on Thursday that the Ukrainian military told him that the crater images at the explosion site showed that the accident could not be caused only by the remnants of Ukrainian air defense missiles.

When asked whether he insisted that the missile was launched by Russia, Zelensky said that he was "convinced that it was a Russian missile", but he was also convinced that Ukraine had launched weapons to resist Russian shelling.

According to the report of Ukrainian air defense forces, on the day of the Polish missile accident, Russia launched air strikes against several major cities in Ukraine. Of the nearly 100 cruise missiles launched by the Russian army, the Ukrainian army shot down 73.

Zelensky said that this is not the first time that Russian missiles aimed at Ukraine have fallen into other countries' territory, and similar incidents have occurred in Moldova before.

"We don't know what happened this time. I am not 100% clear, and I think the world is not 100% clear about the situation at that time. " He said, "We can't say clearly that it is Ukraine's air defense system."

On the evening of 15 local time, a farm near the Ukrainian border in eastern Poland suddenly suffered a missile explosion, killing two men in their 60s.

After the incident, Poland urgently summoned the Russian ambassador, and many European countries also pointed their finger at Russia.

Ukraine reacted more strongly to this. President Zelensky pointed out that Russia launched "terrorism" and urged NATO to take "action" against this "attack on collective security".

However, the incident quickly reversed. It is reported that Biden, who attended the G-20 summit in Indonesia, told the G-7 and NATO partners that the incident was caused by Ukrainian air defense missiles.

The preliminary investigation in Poland shows that the accident was caused by an air defense missile launched by Uzbekistan, and NATO and the United States also agree with this result. Zelensky had previously insisted that he believed that the Ukrainian military investigation showed that the missile "undoubtedly" did not belong to Ukraine.

Biden denied Zelensky's statement when asked about it earlier on Thursday, saying that "the evidence is not like this", but he did not disclose more details.

Adviser to the President of Ukraine: This is a "good story", which shows that the conflict will spread to other countries.

According to "Russia Today" 17, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian President's Office, said in an interview a few days ago that the incident that killed two Polish civilians was a "good story" and would prompt NATO to take a tougher attitude towards Russia.

The Ukrainian "Freedom" channel 17 on Youtube published an interview with Podolyak. According to the report, Podolyak "praised" the Polish missile explosion, which he thought reminded NATO members that the Ukrainian conflict would inevitably spread to other countries' territories.

Podolyak said that this incident will lead Ukrainian partners in NATO to adopt new behavior patterns, and urged NATO countries to "take a tougher attitude in protecting territory".

He also said that this is not the first time that missiles on the battlefields of Russia and Ukraine have flown into neighboring countries. A conflict in a country as big as Ukraine will inevitably spread to the territory of other countries. Moldova's Ministry of Interior said on June 3 10 that the wreckage of a missile launched by Russia landed near the Ukrainian border that day, smashing the windows of several houses, but causing no casualties.

Podolyak was interviewed by Ukrainian "Freedom" channel.

Bloomberg said that according to Zelensky, Ukrainian investigators will go to the Polish accident site to join the investigation of the explosion. Warsaw officials said that they would submit all the evidence collected to Kiev. Pavel Severnak, Poland's deputy interior minister, said he was confident that the two sides "will reach a consensus".

Although NATO officials and their member States said that the explosion may not have been caused by Russian missiles, they still blamed the incident on Russia, believing that this would not have happened if Moscow had not launched an attack.

In this regard, Zelensky also responded at the forum: "Because we are fighting Russian missiles on our territory, we are not accused, and we are grateful for this."

Russia previously denied that Russian troops used deadly weapons to attack the targets in Wooper's border areas. Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov said on June 16 that Kiev and some Western allies initially claimed that Moscow was responsible for this, which was "another hysterical and fanatical fear of Russia's behavior without any real information".

The Russian Ministry of Defence stressed that after expert appraisal, the wreckage in the photos released by the Polish side was a fragment of the Ukrainian S-300 air defense system missile, and the targets attacked by the Russian side were all in Uzbekistan and more than 35 kilometers away from the Polish border.

CNN 17 quoted several sources as saying that Biden did not discuss the Polish missile incident with Zelensky, but White House National Security Adviser Sullivan called Zelensky's office to remind Ukrainian officials to "be more careful".

Dmitry Paulian, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said on the 16 social platform that "someone tried to provoke a direct military conflict between NATO and Russia and let the whole world bear the consequences of all this."

"Russia Today" quoted photos of the explosion scene released by social media.

For Poland, it is not surprising to make such a move. After all, Ukraine is its neighbor, and Russia such as Kaliningrad also borders Poland. Under the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it is understandable for Poland to prevent the war from spreading to itself and improve its combat readiness.

However, after the explosion, Poland alleged that the missile might be made in Russia, which made some western media once again point their finger at Russia. Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian National Security Council, quickly wrote on Twitter that western countries are launching a "mixed war" against Russia, which will bring the outbreak of World War III a step closer.

Interestingly, US President Biden, who is attending the G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, called an emergency round table of the G-7, followed by a press conference, and simply said-

The explosion in Poland was caused by Ukrainian missiles.

When this was said, it seemed that a world war that was about to detonate was lifted.

So, is Biden's words useful, or is the West not ready for a full-scale war with Russia? Why did Ukrainian missiles fall into Poland?

Biden and G7 countries held an emergency round table meeting in Bali.

Biden himself said that the missile that landed in Przevodov village in Lublin province in eastern Poland came from Ukraine's air defense system. This is consistent with the Russian statement. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, from the pictures of the missile wreckage, the missile came from Ukraine's S-300 air defense system.

It can be seen that the analysis of the United States and Russia is similar. But what is rare is that the president of the United States clearly decided for the first time that this matter has nothing to do with Russia. At the press conference after the G7 emergency round table, when a reporter continued to ask Biden further why he said that the missile came from the Ukrainian military, the answer was that the security guard asked the reporter to leave.

The situation of the G7 emergency round table disclosed on the White House website.

Outside the G7, the words of Turkish President Erdogan, a NATO country and a member of G20, are even more hit the floor.

"We must respect the Russian statement. Russia said that they were not involved, which is very important to us. "

Haisir would like to say that since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Turkey has not always acted as a mediator, and even invited representatives of Russia and Ukraine to Istanbul for peace talks. But it must also be noted that Turkey, the United States and Poland are all NATO countries. Within NATO, if a country's security is threatened, an offensive and defensive alliance will be formed between countries. The Turkish President made these remarks during the G-20 meeting, which to some extent represents the overall view of NATO.

Tass news agency: Indonesian President Joko greeted Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov in Nusa Dua, Bali.

You know, Russian President Vladimir Putin finally decided not to go to Indonesia to attend this year's G20 summit because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the attitude of the West, such as the G7 countries. The Russian side sent a delegation led by Foreign Minister Lavrov.

In fact, Indonesian President Joko visited Moscow and Kiev earlier and invited Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky from non-G20 countries to attend the meeting in Indonesia. But in the end? Before the opening of G20, Zoco could only wave his hand and say "I am too difficult".

Lavrov arrived in Bali, and the first time he arrived was the Associated Press. A group of western media said that he was taken to the hospital. It was immediately proved to be a rumor.

All kinds of situations make people feel at first glance-anyway, the Russian delegation is not liked by some people in the West.

However, under such circumstances, Biden was able to make it clear at the first time that the missiles that landed in Poland came from Ukraine, which shows that this confirmation is very important to NATO.

Haisir pointed out that before Biden publicly confirmed that the missile came from Ukraine, he also had a telephone conversation with Polish President andrzej duda. Biden listened to Duda's briefing on the scene after the missile explosion, and told Poland that the United States' support for NATO is unwavering. At the same time, Biden once again claimed to support Ukraine in resisting Russia, including continuing to provide air defense systems to Ukraine.

Interestingly, Jack jack sullivan, the US national security adviser who accompanied Biden on the phone with Duda, said in a statement that "the United States strongly condemns the recent Russian missile attacks on Ukraine, which seem to have hit residential buildings in Kiev and other parts of Ukraine".

Sullivan did not forget to say that at present, the United States participates in the G-20 in Bali to discuss the lives and livelihoods of people all over the world. At this time, Russia is more worthy of condemnation.

What do you think of the statements made by the President of the United States and the National Security Adviser?

Haisir thinks-

1. Biden stressed that the missile that landed in Poland was not launched by Russia, but from Ukraine. In other words, this incident cannot be regarded as Russian aggression against Poland. Therefore, it does not constitute Russian aggression against NATO. In other words, there is no need for Poland to immediately counterattack Russia, and NATO will not immediately take military action against Russia.

Sullivan's words show the positions of the United States and NATO at the same time. This means that the missile explosion in Poland is still related to Russia's military action against Ukraine. If Russia does not attack Ukraine, Ukraine will not launch anti-aircraft missiles, and no missiles will fall into Poland.

3. Poland may have its own ideas about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and some people may want to take a chestnut from the fire, but since the United States has such a statement, Poland will not dare to move.

Why does Poland have its own ideas about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? We should know that in the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Poland issued special passports to Ukrainian citizens, and admitted that Ukrainians who were willing to get such passports were Polish citizens without voting rights. In today's western Ukraine, it was once a part of Poland in history. If Ukraine is dismembered, Poland seems to have ideas about these places. If the missile falls into your own territory and you simply send troops to Ukraine, what benefits will you get? There may be no one in Poland who hasn't thought about it. However, Poland has joined NATO and must be bound by NATO. Since America, the "big brother", has set the tone, Poland will definitely stay put for the time being.

There is a saying in Poland that seems to be confirmed by Russia. That is-it was indeed a Russian missile that exploded. Russia claimed that it was the Ukrainian S-300 missile that landed in Poland. This kind of missile was developed as early as the Soviet era. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the S-300 was equipped not only with Russian troops, but also with Ukrainian troops.

S-300 missiles equipped by the Ukrainian army

In this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, not only S-300 missiles, MIG -29 aircraft, T-72 tanks and other equipment have similar situations-not only Russian troops, but also Ukrainian troops.

Can it be analyzed by "brothers addicted to the wall"? It's hard to say. Although Russia and Ukraine share the same ancestry to some extent, the contradiction has intensified to this point, and where the two countries will go in the future is actually a test of the great wisdom of the two countries.

Now, I still hope that the peace talks will start as soon as possible, the conflict will end as soon as possible and the tragedy will end as soon as possible!
