The Kremlin's claims of non-involvement are lies.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has said that Russia deliberately attacked the NATO country. According to him, the Kremlin's claims of non-involvement are lies and typical Soviet practice.
Sikorski said in a statement on the X social network.
Sikorski said that on Wednesday night Poland's airspace was violated 19 times by Russian-made drones.
"The assessment of the Polish Air Force and NATO is that they were not deviating from their course, but were deliberately directed," the foreign minister said.
Sikorski said he had already held telephone conversations with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Affairs Kaja Kallas and OSCE Chairwoman Elina Valtonen.
The minister rejected Moscow's version, claiming Russia was not involved in the attack and that it was allegedly a "Ukrainian provocation".
"I know that Russia says that there is allegedly no evidence that these were Russian drones and even hints at a Ukrainian provocation. This was expected. Lies and denial is the standard Soviet response. The Kremlin is once again mocking President Trump's peace efforts," the Polish foreign minister said.
Sikorski noted that anyone who claims it was a "Ukrainian provocation" is actually spreading Russian propaganda. He also assured that Poland, the EU and NATO will not be intimidated.
"We will continue to support the brave people of Ukraine. It is time for the Russian leadership to realize that the attempt to restore Europe's last empire is doomed to failure," the Polish Foreign Minister summarized.
