Details 

The head of Polish diplomacy reportedly emphasized that this is another case where the actions of Russia, a country that "continues its unjustified and brutal aggression against Ukraine, also threaten the security of NATO member states.

 The diplomats also discussed ways to strengthen the security of Polish and allied airspace, as well as the upcoming meeting of NATO foreign ministers, which will be dedicated to preparations for the Washington NATO summit in July.

Recall

On the night of March 24, a Russian cruise missile launched from Ukraine violated Polish airspace. The missile entered Polish airspace near the village of Ocerdów in the Lublin Voivodeship. It stayed there for 39 seconds. 

The Polish military decided not to shoot it down because of the risk of wreckage falling on their territory.

Following the incident, Russian Ambassador Sergey Andreev was summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry. However, the Russian ambassador to Poland did not show up when summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry.
