Zelenskyy: Ukrainian experts to participate in investigation of fallen missile in Poland

Ukrainian experts will participate in the investigation of the circumstances of the fall of the missiles in Poland.

This was announced by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum conference on Thursday, as reported by the news agency Interfax-Ukraine.

"Yesterday we received confirmation that our specialists will participate in the investigation. Until the investigation is complete, we cannot say for sure which missiles or their parts fell on the territory of Poland. But we have seen pictures of the crater’s diameter. It cannot be just the fragments of anti-missile systems", said Zelenskyy.

"Everyone should understand that about 100 missiles were launched that day. I am grateful to the world for supporting Ukraine with air defence systems. This is not the first time that fragments of a Russian missile have fallen on the territory of another country", the president added.

He stressed that he "is not 100% sure" what happened this time.

"The world also does not know 100%. I’m pretty sure it was a Russian missile. We are grateful that we are not accused, because we are fighting Russian missiles on our territory," Zelenskyy said.

Earlier, Jakub Kumoch, Head of the International Policy Bureau in the Chancellery of the President of Poland, announced that a Polish-American investigative team is working at the scene of the missile crash, and the Ukrainians have also requested that access be granted to the investigation.

Kumoch stressed that "no one accuses Ukraine of deliberately bombing Polish territory".
Andrzej Duda, the President of Poland, said on 16 November that the explosion in eastern Poland was an accident, and Warsaw does not consider the missile incident an attack on the country, since the fallen missile, according to Duda, was probably fired by Ukrainian Air Defence Forces.
