MOSCOW, 17 Nov. U.S. Congressman Troy Nels called President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky a threat to US national security after the fall of shells of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of Poland.
«The missile that killed two people in Poland most likely belongs to the Ukrainian air defense. If Zelensky knew decided to lie about it, the biggest national security threat we face is Ukraine dragging us into the third world war. Not a penny more,» the politician wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, the Ukrainian leader denied the involvement of the country's army to the fall of two rockets in the border Lublin Voivodeship of Poland, as a result of which two civilians were killed. In his opinion, «there is no doubt» that Kyiv is innocent of the incident. However, in response to his statement, US President Joe Biden noted that Zelensky's statement cannot serve as evidence of Ukraine's non-involvement in the emergency.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the military did not strike near the border of Poland, and all Warsaw's statements about Moscow's involvement in the incident is a provocation. According to the conclusions of experts, the published photos from the scene show fragments of a Ukrainian Armed Forces missile for the S-300 complex, the ministry said.
On Wednesday, Polish President Duda also acknowledged that the missiles belonged to Ukraine with a high degree of probability.
