US President Joe Biden says it is “unlikely” the missile that killed two people in Poland was fired from Russia. Biden called an emergency meeting at the Bali G20 summit with G7 and Nato leaders today (November 16) that included UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Japan’s premier Fumio Kishida and Canada’s Justin Trudeau.
The Prime Minister’s plans for the G20 gathering in Indonesia were thrown into disarray by the incident, which has sparked concern in Ukraine and among the war-torn nation’s allies in Europe and beyond. Poland said the Russian-made missile fell in the eastern part of the country, killing two people in a blast that marked the first time since the invasion of Ukraine that Russian weapons came down on a Nato member.
Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky decried the strike as “a very significant escalation” of the war, while Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the government was raising its military preparedness.
