According to preliminary information, it is doubtful that a missile fired from Russia caused the explosion in a village in eastern Poland close to the Ukrainian border, said US Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday. Biden was addressing following an urgent gathering of world leaders in Bali for the G20 summit.
When asked whether a Russian missile strike on Poland was a likely, Biden responded, "There is early evidence that disputes that. It is improbable that it was launched from Russia based on the lines of the trajectory, but we'll see. I don't want to state that until we have finished investigating it.
When asked if it was still too soon to claim that the missile was launched from Russia, Biden responded, "There is preliminary intelligence that disputes that. It is improbable that it was launched from Russia based on the lines of the trajectory, but we'll see. I don't want to state that until we have finished investigating it.
He emphasised that the US and NATO members would conduct thorough investigations before taking any action.
In rural Poland, close to the Ukrainian border, an explosion occurred. "We committed to back Poland's inquiry, and they're going to make sure we discover out exactly what happened," Biden added.
