Polish law enforcement officers believe that a Ukrainian air defense missile killed two farmers in the border village of Przewodów in November of last year, the Polish publication writes Republic.
Despite the allegedly insufficient cooperation of the Ukrainian side, the investigators reached their conclusions from the available information about what caused the tragic incident in the border village of Pshevoduv, where two people were killed by rocket fragments.
The conclusion rules out that the rocket that fell in Przewodów on November 15 and killed two farmers could have come from Russian territory.
The spokesman of the National Prosecutor's Office, Lukasz Lapczynskiy, in a comment to the newspaper, confirmed that they had indeed received the report, but said that he could not disclose the content due to its confidential nature. According to him, at this stage of the investigation, all possible investigative actions have already been carried out in Poland.
"We have sent a request for legal support from Ukraine and are waiting for a response," the spokesman said.
According to journalists, the conclusion is based on information from a large number of sources, including classified data of the Polish national services.
Experts believe that it was a missile from the S-300 series 5B55 system, produced in Russia. The prosecutor's office allegedly knows exactly where on the territory of Ukraine it was released to shoot down a target during a massive Russian missile attack on Ukrainian cities on November 15, 2022.
Anti-aircraft missiles were fired at the target in pairs, one of them hit, the other continued to fly.
"In such a situation, after reaching a certain height, self-destruction mechanisms should work in the rocket. But it didn't happen, we don't know why," an interlocutor familiar with the investigation told reporters.
It is noted that the Polish prosecutor's office from the beginning was inclined to the version about the S-300 after they found fragments of the missile.
Experts rule out that the missile could have arrived from the territory of Russia, because it can travel no more than 90 km, and they also rule out a launch from Belarus, because the direct distance from there to Przewoduwa is 150 km.
