Oh Vlad, awkward…

Polish media reporting two Russian missiles have struck in Poland killing two people.
Hoping this doesn’t escalate.

Early reports indicating this may be ordnance that got deflected by Ukrainian missile defence. Still though...

EugenesAxe

Apart from anything else it may force Russia to actually be honest for once, will they actually prefer to make shit up to avoid losing face?

Russia will deny its them & say it's just NATO propaganda. Poland will huff & puff but wont do anything. Fog of war.

Didnt Russia bring down a passenger plan a few years ago & nothing was done about it. 

EugenesAxe

Latvia (gov/press?) reporting it as an attack by Russia on Poland, very specific language.

IdleHans

Someone at the G20 should boot lavrov hard in the bollocks, followed by 'Oops, sorry (not sorry)'

EugenesAxe

Russian state media reporting this as a deliberate attack by Ukraine. 🤯

Whatever happens I'm sure it's an accident and neither side want things to escalate. 

Every country will give a press conference blaming the other side but they'll all agree to ignore the incident behind the scenes.

Ridiculous. Keep your stupid missiles away from NATO borders. Buffoon.

Ukraine: this unprovoked attack on Ukraine has failed and we will continue to fight for the freedom of our country 

Poland: Russia must pay reparations for the damage it has caused and should remain a pariah state 

Russia: We demand the return of the missile illegally stolen by Poland

Should this thread be moved?

Russia will just deny it was them and blame Ukraine but in the great scheme of things it will get ignored. But a mistake like this just shows why tactical nuclear weapons are a bad idea, if one of those mistakenly finds itself landing in a NATO country the shite will hit the fan

I’m not sure if it will be ignored as such. I imagine it might lead to Ukraine being supplied with more advance air and anti air weapons.

I'm amazed nobody in Russia has taken Putin out. He has been a disastrous leader.

It's just another special sloppy operation...ski!

There’s a long running thread on the Ukraine / Russia conflict in the House of Commoners group so grateful if we can keep this discussion there, cheers
