Moscow Urges Warsaw Not to Engage in 'Dirty Provocations' Staged by Kiev Regime








The Russian Foreign Ministry explained to the Polish charge d'affaires that hyping up the anti-Russia hysteria over the "missile incident" was unacceptable.








Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov lambasted an allegation that Moscow is 'indirectly responsible' for the incident in Poland, stressing that Russia had nothing to do with it.


Polish Ambassador to Moscow Krzysztof Krajewski has been summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik on Wednesday.


Moscow also called on Warsaw not to engage in "dirty provocations" staged by the Kiev regime and not to initiate its own.


The Russian Foreign Ministry firmly denied allegations of any links regarding the missile which fell in Poland, noting that an impartial probe would reveal it is nothing but a provocation. Moscow noted in an official statement that Kiev is desperately trying to use any pretext to blame Moscow, searching for additional support from the West. The ministry also described the reaction of some NATO countries to the incident as "appalling'".







"The photographs of the wreckage found in the village of Przewodow published in Poland on the evening of November 15 were unambiguously identified by Russian specialists of the military-industrial sphere as elements of an surface-to-air guided missile of the S-300 air defense complex of the Ukrainian military," the ministry said in a statement.
