Only air shield over Ukraine will protect Europe from Russian missiles – Ukraine’s NSDC

The Ukrainian authorities do not agree with the fact that it was a Ukrainian air defense missile that fell on the territory of Poland, and requests that representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the State Border Guard Service be allowed to the crash site.

"We are advocating a further joint study of this incident with our partners in as much detail as possible. We are ready to hand over to our partners the evidence of a Russian trace that we have. We also expect from our partners information on the basis of which a final conclusion was made that it is a Ukrainian air defense missile. In addition, Ukraine requests to immediately grant access to the site of the explosion to representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine," said a message on the NSDC website.

Ukraine also expressed readiness to participate in the investigation.

"Only Russia and its missile terror are to blame for what happened. In this regard, we remind you that the Central European region can be protected from Russian missiles only by building an effective air shield over the territory of Ukraine," the NSDC summarized.
