KREMLIN CALLS WEST’S REACTION TO POLISH BLAST INCIDENT ‘RUSSOPHOBIC’

Wed 16 November 2022:

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that some countries had made “baseless statements” about an explosion in Polish territory near the Ukrainian border on Tuesday.

The West demonstrated a hysterical and Russophobic reaction to the missile incident in Poland, which is not based on real data, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

“We have witnessed another hysterical … Russophobic reaction, which was not based on any real data.

In fact, high-ranking representatives of different countries made statements without any idea of what exactly happened, what caused it, and so on,” Peskov told reporters.

The reaction of a number of countries to the incident shows that there is no need to jump into conclusions that can escalate the situation, the official said, adding that Warsaw could have immediately reported that the wreckage of a missile of the Ukrainian S-300 air defense system was found.

The Kremlin would like the reaction to the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines to be as emotional as that to the missile incident in Poland, Peskov said.

NATO member Poland’s president said earlier that Warsaw had no concrete evidence to determine who fired a missile that struck a Polish grain facility some 6 km (4 miles) inside the border with Ukraine, killing two people.

According to a NATO source who spoke to Reuters, U.S. President Joe Biden informed the G7 and NATO allies that a Ukrainian air defense missile was to blame for a missile blast that occurred in eastern Poland.
