Poland was hit by Russian rockets, killing two people, The Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing U.S. intelligence officials it didn’t identify. Russia dismissed the report as a “deliberate provocation.”
Polish officials met in what they described as a crisis situation, without confirming the reported rockets, and officials in the U.S. and other NATO member nations said they were awaiting word from their Polish counterparts.
Meanwhile, Ukraine was hit by a barrage of missiles hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia must accept his country’s borders and withdraw its troops for peace talks to take place. “If Russia says that it wants to end this war, or so it says, it must prove it with deeds,” Zelenskyy said in an address to the G-20. Most nations in the bloc were poised to condemn the Kremlin for its invasion of Ukraine, according to a draft statement seen by Bloomberg News.
At least one person was killed in Kyiv, Ukraine, when a missile hit a residential building and power was knocked out for half of the capital’s residents, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
