MOSCOW, November 22. /TASS/. Polish President Andrzej Duda said on the day a missile strayed into the east of the country that he would not want a ‘war with Russia’ resulting from the incident. The Polish leader made this statement in a conversation with Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus), who then called him masquerading as French President Emmanuel Macron.

In a video published on Tuesday on the prankers' social media accounts, the supposed Macron asks Duda if he linked Kiev's position on the incident to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's constant requests for new weapons deliveries. "Believe me, I am extremely cautious. I don't blame the Russians, <...>" Duda said, "Emmanuel, do you think I need a war with Russia? No. Believe me, I don't want that. I don't want a war with Russia, and I'm very careful, believe me. Extremely careful."

On November 15, a missile strayed into the village of Przewodow in eastern Poland’s Lublin Voivodeship on the border with Ukraine, killing two people. Polish President Andrzej Duda said that according to the country’s authorities, the missile that fell belonged to Ukraine's air defense forces. Warsaw regarded this as an accident. The State Department said that the US administration assuredly backed the conclusions of the Polish authorities, calling them accurate.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the missile was fired from a Ukrainian S-300 air defense system.
