This Friday, the United States offered help to Poland to investigate the aerial object that violated its airspace and which, according to the Polish Ministry of Defense, was supposedly a Russian missile.. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made that offer of assistance to his Polish counterpart, Jacek Siewiera, during a phone call, the US reported in a statement.

According to the White House, Sullivan took the opportunity to express his country's “solidarity” with Poland, a NATO member, and offered Siewiera his country's technical assistance. The US statement does not specify whether the Polish Executive has accepted such assistance, but it did indicate that Siewiera showed gratitude for Washington's support. According to the American Executive, US President Joe Biden, who is on vacation in the Virgin Islands, is following what happened “closely.”

The Polish Ministry of Defense has reported the entry into its airspace this Friday of an aerial object that apparently came from Russia and which later disappeared from its radars. The Polish Defense Minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, said in a press conference that “from all indications, a Russian missile.”

Taking into account the course of the war, Ukraine has suffered this Friday the most “massive” wave of attacks with missiles and drones since the beginning of the invasion, according to the Air Force of that country, which has counted more than 160 projectiles , of which a large part were demolished.
