The Polish stance was outlined on Tuesday by the spokesman for the foreign ministry in Warsaw, Łukasz Jasina, state news agency PAP reported.

Jasina said: “Most importantly, we do not have any information about any Polish citizens having been injured in this attack or in any other attack which took place on the territory of Ukraine today.”

He added: “This is good news.”

'We utterly condemn this attack'

Jasina told reporters: “Obviously, we utterly condemn this attack, and all the other attacks on Ukraine which happened today, including a strike on Vinnytsia.”

“We do not have any information suggesting that the attack was linked to the presence of [Polish Foreign] Minister Rau in Ukraine,” Jasina said.

“However, in the past, strikes have happened on the day of the visit of the Polish President [Andrzej Duda], for instance,” he added.

Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s Chervonohrad district

Russian forces on Tuesday carried out a missile strike on Ukraine’s Chervonohrad district, near the border with Poland, Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv Oblast Military Administration, announced on Telegram. 

There were no immediate details of the attack, the PAP news agency reported on Tuesday evening. 

Russia had earlier struck Ukraine’s western Lviv region, including during US President Joe Biden’s visit to Poland on March 26.

On Tuesday, Poland’s top diplomat Zbigniew Rau was in Ukraine in his capacity as Chairman-in-Office of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

The Chervonohrad district lies in the northern part of the Lviv region, bordering Poland’s Lubelskie province, the PAP news agency reported.

Wednesday is day 161 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
