VILNIUS, March 28./TASS/. Poland’s response to the violation of airspace by what was allegedly a Russian missile will not affect Russian Ambassador Sergey Andreyev, who was summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry but did show up, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in an interview with the Latvian LTV television.

The top diplomat reiterated that Warsaw and Moscow had diplomatic relations. "When we decide to respond, it will not be at the level of the ambassador," Sikorski added.

As the ambassador himself explained in a commentary to TASS on March 25, he decided against going to the Polish Foreign Ministry since the Polish side had no evidence of Russia's involvement in the incident with the missile that flew into Polish territory.

Earlier, the Polish army reported a violation of the country's airspace on the border with Ukraine in the early hours of March 24, claiming that it was a Russian cruise missile. The Polish command maintained that the missile, allegedly launched from a Russian long-range aircraft, flew into Polish airspace near the village of Ozerdow in the Lublin Voivodeship bordering on Ukraine, leaving the area 39 seconds later. No proof of these claims has been provided.

At the end of December 2023, the operational command reported that Polish air borders had been violated by an unknown object, in connection with which Polish President Andrzej Duda convened an emergency meeting with Defense Ministry’s top brass. The chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, General Wieslaw Kukula, claimed that a Russian missile had crossed into the country's airspace. The area where an alleged missile had been spotted was inspected with nothing posing a threat found there.
