On Tuesday afternoon, Russia launched a massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine, the missiles landed near the border with Poland. After that, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki urgently convened the Committee of the Council of Ministers on National Security and Defense.

Earlier, the AP news agency reported that American intelligence confirmed that Russian missiles crossed Polish airspace on Tuesday, killing two people. But the Pentagon has not officially confirmed this version.
