Poland has demanded an explanation from Moscow after saying a Russian cruise missile aimed at Ukraine entered its territory.
“On March 24 at 4:23 a.m., there was a violation of Polish airspace by one of the cruise missiles launched tonight by the long-range aviation of the Russian Federation,” the Operational Command of the Polish armed forces said on X.
“The object flew into Polish [air]space near the village of Oserdow (Lublin Voivodeship) and spent 39 seconds in it,” Operational Command said. “It was observed by military radar systems throughout its flight.”
The report came after Ukrainian officials said Russia had launched about 20 missiles and seven Shahed attack drones targeting the western Ukrainian region of Lviv, which is near the Polish border. There were also multiple explosions reported in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
does it matter what words russia says next, cuz i feel like it really doesnt matter. ‘oops’ or ‘did not’ or ‘wasnt us’
wtf is poland going to do? i would love to believe there are consequences…
It gives them a valid reason to increase presence and surveillance on the border, disrupt any ongoing transport of goods through their territory “due to concerns” and other small reactions which again puts more stress on Russia. Plus it gives them a basis to react stronger to any later “misstep”.
These things are usually “fought” in degrees.
At the very least it’s a further degradation of Russian international reputation
What Poland plans to do.

Jokes are usually funny.
Poland is part of NATO. If its invaded, the entire war machine of the US and Europe will roll into whatever nation made that very, very stupid choice.
Thus a World War.
Yeah, which is why it would be very, very stupid for a hostile nation to do that.
It would also be very stupid for Russia to attack Ukraine, but here we are…
