United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that the ultimate responsibility for the missile attack on Poland lies with Russia. The missile attack, which killed two people, was believed to be caused by Ukrainian air defence missiles but Blinken said that the ongoing invasion in Ukraine is to be blamed for the incident. He also added that the US is currently assisting Ukraine with the ongoing investigation.&nbsp;

"Whatever its final conclusion, we already know the party ultimately responsible for this tragic incident – Russia," Blinken said at the Asia-Pacific summit in Bangkok, reported&nbsp;Reuters.&nbsp;

"What we are seeing every single day now is Russia raining missiles down on Ukraine, seeking to destroy its critical infrastructure, targeting the ability that Ukraine has to keep the lights on, to keep the heat going, to allow the country simply to live and move forward,” he added.&nbsp;

In the aftermath of the incident, US President Joe Biden said that Russia was not responsible for the missile attack in&nbsp;Poland. Blinken made it clear that the investigation has "seen nothing so far that contradicts" the observation and the working theory remains that it occurred due to the Ukrainian air defence missiles.&nbsp;

During the address, he also reaffirmed the US support for Ukraine’s cause.&nbsp;

Blinken also spoke about the grain deal brokered by the United Nations that allowed the passage of Ukrainian ships through the Black Sea and praised Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for his efforts.&nbsp;

Russia 'ultimately responsible' for missile attack on Poland, says Antony Blinken

United States President Joe Biden told other NATO members present at the G20 Summit in Indonesia that the missile that killed two people in Poland was an air defence missile from Ukraine, according to a NATO source. Reuters reported that Biden was informed by his sources about the missile and that is why he publicly said that it is unlikely that the missile was launched by Russia.

"There is preliminary information that contests that. I don't want to say that until we completely investigate it, but it is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we’ll see," Biden said when asked about the attack in Poland, according to Associated Press.

The missile that landed near the Poland-Ukraine border sparked tensions about a potential escalation in the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict as any perceived attack on a NATO member will result in a response from the alliance. Following the missile attack, NATO ambassadors held an emergency meeting to discuss the road ahead but decided to not go ahead with an armed response.

On Wednesday, a missile landed in Poland as Russia targeted Ukraine's Volyn region (25-30 km away from the Polish border). The Ukrainian authorities said that most missiles were shot down by their defence systems and the S-300 air defence missile in Poland can be part of their weapons arsenal.

Russia completely denied any involvement in the incident and said that the allegations were "baseless statements". Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Russia was conducting routine military attacks, but the S-300 air defence system was responsible for the incident in Poland.
