<p>In the United States, authorities have concluded that an unattended two-year-old starved after his father died at their upstate New York home this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident happened on February 15 when 59-year-old David Conde Sr and his toddler son were found dead at their home in Geneva, New York. The kid was identified as David Conde Jr.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Ontario County Sheriff's Department said in a statement that the father died naturally from "cardiovascular disease", leaving the kid behind unattended.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sheriff’s department also mentioned that the toddler's cause of death was starvation. It added that the manner was ruled to be accidental.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The statement concluded: "It is believed that Mr. Conde passed away first, and the child was not able to obtain any nourishment after his father passed."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by the US media outlets, the medical examiner's office said on Tuesday that it looked like the child was unable to seek help or find food after his father died.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The officials also said that deputies found the father and son died during a welfare check at the apartment. The welfare check happened when the family members said they had not heard from them in over a week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lt David Cirencione, who is with the Ontario County Sheriff's Office, said that the officers had to make a forced entry into the apartment, which was locked. They found both dead bodies in a bathroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lt Cirencione said, "There were no signs of a struggle in the residence, and as I indicated, the door was locked on the inside. There's also a sliding door with a deck that had a security bar that was engaged."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We do not have any reason to believe anyone else was inside the apartment when these two passed away," the official added.&nbsp;</p>

While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.</strong></em></p>

<p>The Western leaders have admitted that the deadly missile that landed in Poland came from Ukraine, not Russia. Their statements have eased the tensions, which could have ended up as a major escalation, involving NATO nations and Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Russia claimed that it was a Ukrainian S-300 missile that landed in Poland, killing two people. Moscow also said that its nearest strike on Ukraine was 35 kilometres from the Polish border.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even Poland’s President Andrzej Duda noted that there is no evidence a missile was an "intentional attack", and it was most likely an accident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fears of a full-scale war have been averted but Ukraine has denied the reports and blamed Russia for the incident. Kyiv further demanded "immediate access" to the blast site for investigation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said that the missile was Russian.&nbsp;"I have no doubt that this is not our missile. I believe that this was a Russian missile, based on our military reports,"&nbsp;Zelensky said in televised remarks on Wednesday evening.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On one hand, Russia has clarified that it has nothing to do with the missile incident in Poland, but the United States said that Russia "bears ultimate responsibility".&nbsp;</p>

<p>US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin suggested on Wednesday that Russia is ultimately responsible for the blast as Moscow's forces target Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Blame on Russia&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>In a virtual meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, Austin said: "We'll continue to work closely with our ally Poland and others to gather more information, and we'll continue to consult closely with our NATO allies and our valued partners."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What we do know is the context in which this is unfolding. Russia is facing setback after setback on the battlefield, and Russia is putting Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure in its gunsights," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Austin opened the virtual meet of the group that is comprised of dozens of countries that back Kyiv.&nbsp;</p>

<p>British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly also said that the Poland blast is a "result of Russia's aggression" in Ukraine and the conflict which was "the only reason why it has happened".&nbsp;</p>

<p>NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg was certainly more direct in blaming Russia. He said that "this is not Ukraine's fault." After chairing a meeting of NATO ambassadors, Stoltenberg said that "Russia bears ultimate responsibility as it continues its illegal war against Ukraine."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reports have also noted that the explosion in eastern Poland came after Russia launched dozens of missile strikes across Ukraine on Tuesday. In the aftermath, Kyiv said led to power outages for millions of people.&nbsp;</p>

While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos. The Western leaders have admitted that the deadly missile that landed in Poland came from Ukraine, not Russia. Their statements have eased the tensions, which could have ended up as a major escalation, involving NATO nations and Russia. Russia claimed that it was a Ukrainian S-300 missile that landed in Poland, killing two people. Moscow also said that its nearest strike on Ukraine was 35 kilometres from the Polish border. Even Poland’s President Andrzej Duda noted that there is no evidence a missile was an "intentional attack", and it was most likely an accident.

Kyiv further demanded "immediate access" to the blast site for investigation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said that the missile was Russian. "I have no doubt that this is not our missile. I believe that this was a Russian missile, based on our military reports," Zelensky said in televised remarks on Wednesday evening. On one hand, Russia has clarified that it has nothing to do with the missile incident in Poland, but the United States said that Russia "bears ultimate responsibility". US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin suggested on Wednesday that Russia is ultimately responsible for the blast as Moscow's forces target Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.

"What we do know is the context in which this is unfolding. Russia is facing setback after setback on the battlefield, and Russia is putting Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure in its gunsights," he added. Austin opened the virtual meet of the group that is comprised of dozens of countries that back Kyiv. #NATO ambassadors met to address yesterday’s deadly explosion in #Poland.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg was certainly more direct in blaming Russia. He said that "this is not Ukraine's fault." After chairing a meeting of NATO ambassadors, Stoltenberg said that "Russia bears ultimate responsibility as it continues its illegal war against Ukraine." Reports have also noted that the explosion in eastern Poland came after Russia launched dozens of missile strikes across Ukraine on Tuesday. In the aftermath, Kyiv said led to power outages for millions of people.

Missile that landed in Poland 'came' from Ukraine, but US says 'Russia bears ultimate responsibility'

<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly confronted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for leaking the details of a conversation that happened between them in Bali, Indonesia on Tuesday during the G20 summit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bloomberg reported that Xi spoke with Trudeau at the closing session of the summit at G20 with the help of a translator and discussed the conversation that was leaked to a paper.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Chinese president said, "Everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper, that’s not appropriate."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In response, Trudeau interrupted the translator to say, "We believe in free and open and frank dialogue and that is what we will continue to have. We will continue to look to work constructively together but there will be things we will disagree on."&nbsp;</p>

<p>A video of the conversation, a rare behind-the-scenes incident, went viral on social media platforms. The same video has been published by several media outlets, but an official confirmation is still awaited.&nbsp;</p>
