President Biden rejected Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s claims that an errant missile that killed two people in Poland earlier this week was launched by Russian troops.
When asked by reporters for his reaction early Thursday to Zelensky’s denial that the missile was of Ukrainian origin, the 79-year-old Biden responded: “That’s not the evidence.”
Polish President Andrzej Duda said hours earlier that the Tuesday blast was most likely the result of an off-course missile fired by Ukrainian troops while defending themselves from Russia’s ongoing invasion.
“Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions, and it is highly probable that one of these missiles, unfortunately, fell on Polish territory,” Duda said. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.”
