Military expert Oleg Zhdanov believes that the incident in Poland was another planned attack by Russia with the aim of "shaking" NATO.
He told about this on November 16 in an interview with Ukrlife.TV.
"I think that the strike was deliberate on the part of the Russian Federation. Moreover, it was the most powerful mass strike against Ukraine in terms of the number of missiles. At the same time, to turn on the "fool" and say, as they say, "well, two missiles went astray by accident" is quite possible for the Russian Federation," Zhdanov believes.
According to the expert, Putin decided to "shake up" NATO.
With most of Russia's provocations towards the Alliance going unanswered, the Russian dictator likely decided to raise the stakes.
"He is constantly provoking NATO to some tough response from Russia. This is another provocation. He decided to raise the stakes. He realized that nothing works: the crossing of the airspace by Russian drones and aircraft, etc. Threats do not work. Regarding nuclear weapons, he was given clear red flags. "He doesn't have any maneuver. Now, they say, it is necessary to inflict such a random little "blow" on the NATO country," Zhdanov believes.
It will be recalled that on the evening of November 15, a rocket fell on the territory of Poland in the village of Przewoduwi, as a result of which two people died.
It happened approximately 6 kilometers from the Ukrainian-Polish border during an air alert throughout Ukraine.
At the same time, AP, citing three US officials, reports that the missile that fell on the territory of Poland could have been fired from Ukrainian air defense to shoot down a Russian air target.
In turn, Zelensky quickly commented on this statement.
According to Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the head of the President's Office, only Russia is guilty of threats and excesses in other countries with its missile attacks.
