"We will protect": The Pentagon reacted to the flight of a Russian rocket in Poland

During a briefing, one of the journalists mentioned the incident with the Russian rocket and asked what the Pentagon's position was about the fact that a state such as Poland could "draw NATO into war. " "I didn't see what you refer to. I can say that the administration has repeatedly stated that we would protect every inch of NATO. If NATO ally is attacked, we, of course, do not want it, but we will protect every inch NATO ", - Singh replied.

According to the speaker, the US priority is now providing Ukraine with "everything you need" on the battlefield. "Congress has just approved the budget for the 24th financial year, so we hope that we will also be able to approve an additional package for Ukraine that we need to continue to equip Ukraine by what it needs on the battlefield," she added.

We will remind, the adviser to the Minister of Defense of Poland Mechislav Benek reported that during the air anxiety on the night of March 24, a Russian rocket flew to the territory of Poland for 39 seconds, after which she changed the course and headed towards Lviv. Representative of the Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Poland, Lieutenant Colonel Jacek Gorishevsky stated that the decision not to knock the rocket was made on the basis of information of radar systems.

According to him, the command realized that it would leave the country's airspace, and an attempt to knock down the rocket would be a risk to the local population. In connection with the incident in the Polish Foreign Ministry, the Russian ambassador Sergei Andreev was summoned, but the Russian diplomat did not appear in the department. Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosyniak-Kaysh stated that the Polish authorities would take further measures in connection with Andreev's behavior.
