Kremlin Spokesman on Missile Incident in Poland: US, NATO Actions Were Root Cause
Commenting on the White House's statement about Russia's responsibility for a recent incident when missiles landed in Poland, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the US and NATO actions were the root cause of everything that is happening now.
White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said Wednesday that the United States believes Russia is "ultimately responsible" for the incident due to its special military operation in Ukraine.
“The Americans speak in the paradigm 'if something hadn't happened [before], this wouldn't happen [now].' Then it makes sense to rewind. And we will see the root cause of everything - it’s NATO and the United States at the helm,” Peskov said, commenting on the White House statement.

Poland Refrains From Using NATO Charter's Article 4 After Urgent Consultations - Morawiecki
Poland abandoned plans to apply Article 4 of the NATO Charter, which stipulates urgent consultation, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Wednesday.
"The course of events and the information received at night led us to the conclusion that this was not a deliberate attack on Poland. According to our information, there was no plan to attack the territory of Poland. According to our information at the moment. Therefore, we did not launch the 4th article, but kept it in reserve," Morawiecki said.
At the same time, the Polish prime minister noted that Poland was constantly consulting with NATO.

"In fact, we are constantly consulting. But within the framework of the Washington defense treaty, there is Article 4, which obligates the participants to consult in the event of a threat. Together with the president, at the council of the National Security Committee late last night, we decided that we would check the prerequisites for use of Article 4. And if they are, then our ambassador [to NATO] would have the opportunity to use it," he said.

Hungary Calls Kiev's Allegations Against Russia Over Poland Missile Incident 'Bad Example'
