know what happened here? we wait. and that s frustrated and we re all spring loaded to the take action immediately, but this is potentially one of those moments when events carry a weight of their own. the next thing will come to warsaw. it will be the pols laying out the evidence. they re in control of the sovereign territory where these missiles landed. simultaneously, the rest of nato, including the military headquarters of this supreme ally command, will be supporting the pols with satellite intelligence. any other human intelligence. all that will be put together. i think with a very logical
between that and this? we don t know. clearly, the u.s. wants to find out who s responsible, what s the extebt of the casualties. i think we can all see the potential for consequences is evident now. thank you for that. with me now is former adviser to president zelenskyy of ukraine. we don t want to get ahead of things, but we know from polish reports that at least broadcast reports there say a grain processing plant was hit. that two pols have died. what s your assessment of where this puts this? first of all, let me share my condolences with the people of
air to ground or surface to surface, ground to ground missiles. the pols, believe me, will have teams on the ground this minute combing through the wreckage and in particular, looking for serial numbers, profiles, anything to identify the weapon. it is hard to imagine what else this could be, but certainly the ukrainians fire air defense missiles against incoming russian missiles, could one of those have gone in a different direction? i think that s far less likely than the obvious explanation here, which is a russian missile that has been fired in a way that has malfunctioned, perhaps wrong coordinates put it, perhaps the missile malfunctioned and ends up striking and killing tragically, evidently according to reports,
two polish citizens. so i think that will be clarified over the next number of hours. we re not going to have to wait days. the report from reuters is that polish prime minister has called an urgent meeting. obviously. you already have a meeting of world leaders all gathered minus obviously the leader of russia. what are those conversations like? what do you imagine is happening now? what is the polish leadership doing? what are the conversations among leaders at nato? if you re the polish leadership, what you re looking for is the facts. you re looking to understand exactly what has happened. in the pols believe me are not looking to start a war between poland and russia or nato and russia. so they re going to look very carefully to try to ascertain exactly what s happened here. at the same time, i would
at the radar tracking systems across ukraine. if this came from russia, it will be evident fairly quickly. what the pols find on the ground, very important as well. some of this will be classified but i think a fair amount will be releasable. i would say again within hours. not days. we ll have a pretty clear idea of what has happened here. in an ideal situation, moscow, the kremlin, would say yep, those are two of our missiles. we were launching them at what we consider legitimate military targets and they overflew the polish border. we regret it deeply. that would be a very good outcome. it would still lead to consequences for nato, but i think that would be better than them trying deny this. it seems illogical this came
