Russian Ambassador Georgy Mkhin received a protest note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland after being summoned to the department following the missile fall in the Lublin Voivodeship on July 30. The diplomat of the aggressor country was also urged to cease the war against Ukraine.
This was reported by Polish MFA spokesperson Maciej Wawrzyniak, as cited by Polsat News.
Mkhin was informed that “any escalation on the border of the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance is undesirable and unacceptable.”
“The ambassador also heard a call to stop this illegal war against Ukraine, in which innocent people are dying,” Wawrzyniak stated.
Concurrently, Deputy Secretary of State Robert Kupiecki presented the Russian representative with a protest note regarding the incursion of a cruise missile into Poland’s airspace.
“The ambassador heard that we unequivocally condemn hostile actions aimed at the security of a sovereign state and its citizens. We demand an end to actions that pose a threat to the life and safety of the Polish people, while also carrying the risk of an aviation catastrophe,” he said.
At the same time, Wawrzyniak added that the aggressor country’s diplomat accepted the protest note. He emphasized that “in such situations, there is not much room for lengthy discussion.”
“Mr. Ambassador very clearly heard our position and the emphasis on our cooperation with our allies,” he noted.
Wawrzyniak stated that he did not wish to speculate on Poland’s further steps in response to Russia’s actions. However, he stressed that public statements from the government serve as a clear signal to Moscow.
As previously reported, on the eve of this, **Warsaw took the first step after the dangerous incident.** Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs had summoned the Russian ambassador.
It is recalled that during an attack on Ukraine on July 30, **an X-101 Russian missile entered Polish territory.** Two NATO fighter jets were scrambled in the country. The Alliance has stated that it is maintaining contact with Warsaw regarding the airspace violation.
