Poland Blames Russia for Deadly Blast Near Border with Ukraine
--------------------------------------------------------------

Top Polish officials have blamed Russia for the deaths of two people
near Poland's border with Ukraine, after an air defense missile
apparently fired by Ukraine fell onto their village on Tuesday evening.
Poland's ambassador to the United Nations addressed the Security Council
on Wednesday.

Krzysztof Szczerski: "Those innocent people would not have been killed
if there had been no Russian war against Ukraine. The only fault was -
their only fault was the fact that they lived close to the civilian
infrastructure on the Ukrainian side of the border that Russia keeps
attacking as military targets."
