On Tuesday, November 15, near the Ukraine border, the missile fell in Poland and the increased tension after the death of two people, gave rise to fears of a world war. However, after US President Joe Biden described those missiles as Ukrainian, these apprehensions appeared to be at an end. But now the claim of the Ukrainian President that those missiles are Russian has once again added fuel to the fire.
According to information, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a comment on TV saying that the missiles that fell on the Polish border were from Russia. Two people died because of them. Zelensky said the missile that fell on Polish soil, killing two people, was a “Russian missile”.
Very difficult to drive Russia out of Ukraine: Milley
Top US military official General Mark A. Miley told a press conference on Wednesday after a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group that it is extremely difficult to drive Russia out of Ukraine through military action. This cannot happen unless the Russian army is a complete failure, which is not even possible. He said that the possibility of defining Ukraine’s victory as an early exit of Russia is also not high.
Milley said that Ukraine is a huge country. The chances of Russia conquering and dominating Ukraine are close to zero. We don’t see this happening militarily. But it currently occupies 20 percent of Ukraine. During this, Mile also spoke on the issue of Taiwan and China.
He noted that attacking and occupying Taiwan across the strait would be a difficult task, as most of Taiwan is a mountainous island. The Chinese would be at high risk and it would be a mindless geopolitical mistake and a strategic mistake similar to what Putin has done in Ukraine.
US Defense Minister said – We are still gathering information
US Defense Minister Lloyd J. Austin has said in his latest statement in this matter that we have seen and heard the news of the deadly explosion in Poland. We are still gathering information but we have nothing that refutes that the explosion was the result of a Ukrainian air defense missile, which unfortunately happened in Poland.
He said that whatever be the final conclusion, perhaps the world knows that Russia is ultimately responsible for this. This tragic incident is a reminder of Russia’s negligence and choosing the path of war.
Zelensky said – Russia is responsible
The President of Poland, NATO and even the US President say that the missile that killed innocent civilians was fired by Ukrainian forces, but Zelensky flatly denies, saying the missile was not from Ukraine. One of his senior aides said the attack was the result of missile terrorism by Russia. Also reiterated that Russia should be held responsible for any accident caused by the missile.
Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda said Russian-made S-300 rockets were suspected to have been used in the attack, but were operated by Ukraine’s military. The Ukrainian military wanted to avoid Russian missile attacks. It was fired from Ukraine’s air defense system and unfortunately fell in Poland.
