Latest news today about the war between Russia and Ukraine
November 16 () –
The President of Finland, Sauli Niinisto, has joined the group of leaders who have doubts about the recipient of the missiles that fell on Tuesday in the town of Przewodow, near the border with Ukraine, killing two people and has stressed that the facts surrounding this accident need to be fully investigated.
“There are suggestions that he did not fly from Russian territory,” Niinisto said this Wednesday at a press conference on the occasion of the official visit of his Mozambican counterpart, Filipe Nyusi, in which he highlighted the position adopted by the majority of leaders by “keeping a cool head” at a time like that.
Niinisto has pointed out that all these events happen as part of the conflict, even those that were not planned. “Such are the horrors of war,” said the Finnish president, who has expressed his condolences to the Polish people for what happened, says the Yle public channel.
Niinisto’s reaction is similar to that shown by US President Joe Biden and the Polish authorities, who have avoided pointing fingers at Moscow. The head of the White House has gone further and has indicated that it is “improbable” that this projectile was launched from Russian territory.
“There is preliminary information that casts doubt on that. I don’t want to say anything until we investigate everything, but it is unlikely, taking into account the trajectory, that it was fired from Russia. We will see,” Biden said.
NATO, for its part, has commented that it is “probable” that the impact of the missiles that killed two civilians was caused by Ukrainian air defenses “to defend the territory from a Russian attack.”
