(MENAFN) Warsaw is not opposed to Ukrainian officials observing the investigation into the missile strike that killed two Polish villagers earlier this week, but Kiev's participation in the investigation must be governed by international law and mutual treaties, according to Polish President Andrzej Duda on Thursday.
“If the guests from Ukraine wish to see investigative actions, this can be shown to them,” Duda highlighted at a news conference.
The missile that struck Przewodow, a hamlet near the Ukrainian border, was recognized as originating from a Ukrainian S-300 air defense system by Poland, Russia, and the United States. Kiev has continually disputed this, claiming that any probe must include Ukrainian specialists to ensure its impartiality.
Duda’s head of chancellery, Grazyna Ignaczak-Bandych, informed the news briefing i.pl that “we can say with high probability that the Ukrainians will be able to see the site of the explosion.”
In the meantime, Duda’s top foreign policy aide, Jakub Kumoch, posted on Twitter that “Ukrainian experts are admitted to the site.” He also thanked the US and Ukrainian ambassadors to Poland for their cooperation and stated Ukraine was “not to blame for defending itself against Russia.”
