AP reports a senior U.S. intelligence official says Russian missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people.
The senior U.S. intelligence official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation.
Polish government spokesman Piotr Mueller did not immediately confirm the information, but said top leaders were holding an emergency meeting because of a "crisis situation."
Polish media reported that two people died Tuesday afternoon after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodów, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Russia pounded Ukraine's energy facilities with its biggest barrage of missiles yet, striking targets from east to west and causing widespread blackouts. A defiant President Volodymr Zelenskyy shook his fist and declared: "We will survive everything."

IT’s weather or not nato respond on Russians in Donbas tbh they are in there right to two people have lost there life’s in a nato territory. Respond tbh
Time to turn the lights out on Moscow and
St Petersburg.
@2M I agree with YOU ! ☺😛😂😅😄 .
Clearly the ‘lights are out’ on your mental faculties. If the corrupt west causes a war you can be the first to sign up to be Canon fodder.
Long live Russia long live putin 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Time to blast Putins palace with him in it.
@Passed The Bar : And it was the Russians that got stuck in the mud 🤣
Let’s pray the Russian missiles are in as much disrepair as the rest of Russian forces.
Sounds like Putin is pushing the boundaries. Needs to be a measured response.
@Blac beatles You don’t speak for Americans, but I can tell you that they will enter a war with Russia because everyone is sick and tired of russian stupidity.
@David Smith ?
@swagedelic Not gonna lie America have done a lot more killing than Russia have in the past 30 years and I never said I spoke for the entirety of America but I think I speak for plenty of people when I say that I NATO versus Russian war is pointless because we already know how it’s going to end we killed a lot more people over our 20 years in the Middle East and they have it in Ukraine and when I say people I mean civilians
@larry destiny It doesn’t mean that we have to though I don’t understand why some people are trying to act like id NATO attacks Russia Russia is going to lose we know this but Russia is not just gonna take their loss they’re going to use nuclear weapons and then nobody wins because there’s gonna be billions of dead people over two dead people it sucks to say it but this is not the time to try and fight russia I’m a senior in high school so I really don’t want to fight in a war as soon as I graduate I’d like to enjoy my life if governments want to kill each other they can but I don’t
@swagedelic don’t project weakness
Next the Russians will Sink Our
Aircraft Carrier and say that it
was an Accident. 😅
Given the accuracy of russian missiles they will get all the wrong squares…
It’s been an honor everyone ready for Fallout
@Thomas Daka which Africa 😬 NATO nd his allies should remain in their countries for them to receive the suprise gifts from Russia 🙌😜😜😜
@Serafim Zaycev Thank you, I was assuming roughly the same.
Also whenever I see Russians being interviewed, many claim to be ‘not political’ and to me that almost always means they are not in favor of war, Putin or anything, just hope to get on with their lives without being arrested or moGilized
@Serafim Zaycev Thanks, I have heard Europeans describe this, and you confirm it, thank you. Also, one guy directly above my first question asked what they are saying on your tv. I think he means in regard to the missile hit in Poland, but seeing as it is way past midnight, I think it will be a few hours to go before all of Russia will hear any of it
@Elmundo the Great Has it? The US is god awful right now with this Admin.
@NPA Dinero Me too but nobody wanted to hear me 😂
One missile could be a mistake but two missiles hitting the same target is not a mistake
@NATIK ? a no fly zone starting at the E29th meridian would give NATO a 200 mile buffer zone
@Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Why wouldn’t day mr commie?
Says the military expert sitting on his grandma’s couch in her basement. 🤣
@Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Because the western public is so dumb that they believe anything the media tells them!
Yeah, big example is the bombing of Chinas Embassy by NATO during the Yugoslavian war. Ha ha. Fakin hypocrite!!
Know that face kids make when they throw something and it accidentally hits the dad? Someone that is not a kid is making that face right now.
It should be,the old generals,presidents & politicians dont go ti war;thier sons and daughters do.
*to*
Well, it’s time for the talking to stop and positive action to take place.
🌍🗽✌️🇵🇱 POLAND 💞 Oczekujemy Wspólnego Działania NATO na Ataki Rosyjskich Terrorystów { ✝️ 2 osoby✝️ }
GG, lads. We had a good run
🤙
I’m not sure why they even ask these officials any questions I mean it seems like they just don’t want to answer or they don’t know the answer to the question I mean it just seems like these press conferences are just pointless
When you (😡the Russian Federation) are continuously attacking civilian targets within Ukraine with inaccurate lethal weapons, and these weapons strike into a 🇪🇺NATO country you have literally crossed the red line, you have attacked 🇪🇺NATO.
You (😡the Russian Federation) have also executed this action with little, to no regard of the consequences.
It must be stated that while nobody (with any standard level of sanity) wants: either the conflict in Ukraine, or an escalation of this already harebrained war.
A response. An appropriate and harsh response is now mandatory.
Imagine aiming for a country and missing…
That’s a good one your right
The funniest part is – everybody is trying to guess was it intentional or not, meanwhile Russia itself is silent lol.
It doesn’t matter. We know whatever Russia says is a bullsxxt at this point.
Russia pulled a shaggy “it wasnt me”
they denied it
@Chicken Buttermasala Oh, we should believe them by all means. Next time they may shoot nukes, but as long as they continue saying- it wasn’t us- NATO and USA should not worry.
Why schould the Russians do this intentionaly is the better question?
If it was Russia it was unintentional. Cruise missles are used for high value targets so this makes no sense at all.
If they want war with NATO they could just declare war and strike an acctual target. This make just as much sense as Russia blowing up there own pipeline while they cut just close the tap. No, it’s a briliant stategy to blow up the pipeline and in the proces lose your leverage over Europe when gas supplies are running dry. I’m amazed by the droves of people buying the story that Russia did it. More sad these people vote.
I love how he stays out there for that amount of time just to say nothing.
@teestoymirando And what’s that Jack?
Would you expect anything less from a woke heel-hound R.E.M.F.
This Means WAR – How dare the Russians Disregard our scared boundaries – We must Exterminate…👈👈🤠
@Jeff Lewis Whatever the hell it is you wanted him to say obviously
@Bui What is it the hell I wanted to hear, Jack!
It is difficult to talk about a mistake if the 2 rockets lands 8 km from the Ukrainian border in Poland village the Russians can make a mistake up to 0.5 km in accuracy but not so much
Whether this was by accident, and it was not meant to have landed in Poland, as it was deflected by Ukraine’s air defence, or it was a deliberate attack on Ukrainian infrastructure that was to close to the border and it ended up going over the border,
It is still Russia’s responsibility to not let this happen in the first place,
Based on the fact that non of the Russian missiles are actually hitting their so-called military targets in Ukraine,
Russia shouldn’t be targeting any infrastructure near the Ukrainian & Polish border, to guarantee that this does not happen, being fully aware of the consequences of what could happen if it does by NATO,
Now if it was a missile that was intercepted by Ukraine’s air defences, and remnants of either Russia’s or Ukraine’s missile has strayed over the border,
NATO could say, ok we are fully aware that this is what happened and we knew it could happen, by mistake, as to not let it happen again, but if this happens a second time, then we will take it as a deliberate attack on a NATO country,
Or they could say that we need to take more measures to protect Poland’s borders by giving Russia an ultimatum,
Not target any of Ukraine’s infrastructure within, as for example, an 80 kilometres/50 miles distance of the Polish and Ukrainian border,
Any missiles that are found to be aimed at targets within this area, will be classed as a threat towards Poland,
🤔
hi good morning to all of viewers and friends and as a neutral person my personal view is that this latest SO CALLED missile attack on the polish territory was definitely not done by the Russian federation force’s and i got feeling that the Ukrainian intelligence services may be either directly or indirectly involved or behind this attack on the NATO member state Poland ..and it’s clearly visible that the current Ukrainian president and his government and forces ( anti Russian elements etc ) want’s to take this current Russian Ukrainian conflict into another very dangerous and escalating level and situation and if it’s happens I mean if the NATO alliance directly involve to this latest ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine then it will definitely turns into the Russian federation and NATO military alliance conflict and it will definitely not going to be very good or better situation for the entire world peace and harmony..so all parties and state actors must be very careful and they must not come quick conclusions about this latest situation and all must use there brains and minds rather than quick feelings and emotions.. remember cool and calm head’s will definitely give good results and it will surely be further protect the world peace …
