Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggested on Wednesday that the incident in Poland remains the fault of Russia for launching attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Speaking to reporters at the G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, Meloni said that she had spoken to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and remains convinced that, even if the missile turns out to be Ukrainian, the strike would not have occurred had they not been defending against incoming Russian attacks.
“The possibility that the missile falling on Poland was not a Russian missile but a Ukrainian one changes very little,” the recently elected Italian prime minister said.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also told reporters in Brussels that the incident was not Ukraine’s fault.
“This is not Ukraine’s fault. Russia bears ultimate responsibility as it continues its illegal war against Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.
