Russia’s ambassador to Poland did not attend the foreign ministry in Warsaw today despite being summoned to do so.
Poland has demanded an explanation from Moscow after one of its missiles briefly entered Polish airspace during a major missile attack on Ukraine in the early hours of yesterday.
Defence minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said the airspace was penetrated by around 0.6 miles to 1.2 miles as Russia was targeting the Ukrainian border region of Lviv.
Poland’s deputy foreign minister said Warsaw was intending to hand a protest note to Russian ambassador Sergey Andreyev – however he did not attend the ministry today on being summoned.
A diplomatic note will be sent by another means, the foreign ministry said.
