In the biggest crises, Vladimir Putin often reacts extra late. When a rocket hit the NATO country Poland on Tuesday evening and put European heads of state on alert, Putin said: nothing. Only from the Moscow Ministry of Defense came a brief reaction, which can be summed up with the expected “It wasn’t us”. Reports about a “Russian missile” near the Polish settlement of Przewodów are a provocation, the ministry said on the Telegram messenger service.
