In a post on X on Saturday, Radosław Sikorski wondered rhetorically which version of events should be believed.
His remark followed the UN Security Council on Friday convened at Poland’s request to discuss the incident.
Addressing the forum, Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said Russian forces had been attacking Ukraine at the time of the drone incursions, and had no intention to hit targets in Poland.
He added that the maximum range of the drones used did not exceed 700 km "which makes it physically impossible for them to have reached Polish territory."
However, speaking to the council, Poland's Secretary of State Marcin Bosacki said: “We know, and I repeat, we know that it was not a mistake.”
Slovenia’s U.N. Ambassador Samuel Zbogar also sought to dispel the suggestion that the drone incursion could have been a mistake, telling the council "it is hard to imagine that so many drones flew so deep over Polish territory, unintentionally.”
The United States told the gathering it would "defend every inch of NATO territory" after the incursion.
The remarks appear aimed at assuaging Washington's NATO allies after U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said Russia's alleged drone incursion into Poland could have been a mistake.
Poland shot down drones in its airspace on Wednesday with the backing of aircraft from its NATO allies, the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine.
