Biden says it’s unlikely the missile that hit Poland was fired from Russia

U.S. President Joe Biden said it is unlikely that the missile that hit Poland and killed two people was fired from Russia, but the United States and allies unanimously agreed to support the country’s investigation, writes CNBC.

“I’m going to make sure we figure out exactly what happened”, - Biden said.

Early Wednesday morning, Polish officials said a “Russian-made missile” landed on its soil, killing two people. It would mark the first time since Russia’s war in Ukraine began in February of this year that a Russian projectile hit NATO territory.

“There is preliminary information that contests that”, - Biden said when asked if the missile was fired from Russia. “I don’t want to say until we completely investigate. It is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we’ll see”.

Biden didn’t address whether the missile could have been fired by Russia from Ukraine or elsewhere. He was speaking in Bali, Indonesia where he is attending the Group of 20 summit, a meeting of the world’s largest economies.
