Ukraine asks one country to join war

 


Poland said that Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s request for Warsaw to intercept Russian missiles over Ukrainian airspace would amount to Poland’s direct involvement in the conflict.

 

Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski commented on the Ukrainian leader’s recent statements during an interview on local station Radio ZET.

“Zelensky wants Poland to shoot missiles over Ukraine, which means he wants Poland to enter the war, which means he wants Poland to be at war with Russia. By these statements, Zelensky wants to drag Poland into the war with Russia,” the Polish politician said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently criticized Poland for failing to fulfill its commitment to provide additional fighter jets, despite prior agreements between the two countries.

He explained that he had sought Poland’s help to prevent Russian missiles from destroying a gas storage facility in the city of Stryi, located in western Ukraine.
