“Until hard evidence is provided, we will not give any explanations, because these accusations are unfounded,” Ordash said.
He pointed out the incident in November 2022, when a missile killed two people in a Polish border village.
“Back then, they also tried to blame the Russian side for this incident. Later it turned out that the missile was fired by the Ukrainian military,” Ordash said.
