[ブリュッセル 16日 ロイター] – North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Stoltenberg said on the 16th that the missile that landed in Poland was most likely a Ukrainian interceptor. At the same time, he emphasized that the responsibility ultimately lies with Russia, which started the war.

NATO held an emergency meeting after a missile hit a Polish village near the border with Ukraine, killing two people. In a press conference after the meeting, Secretary General Stoltenberg said the investigation was ongoing, but added, “There is no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack, nor is there any indication that Russia is preparing military action aggressive against NATO. “No,’ he said.

“Preliminary analysis suggests the likely cause was a Ukrainian interceptor missile launched to defend Ukrainian territory from a Russian cruise missile attack,” he said.

“I want to be clear, it is not Ukraine’s fault,” he said, adding: “Russia is responsible because this is a direct result of the ongoing war and yesterday’s Russian attack on Ukraine.” .
