Biden disputes Zelensky’s missile claim

"President Joe Biden has cast doubt on the claim made by his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir
Zelensky that a missile that killed two people in a Polish village did not belong to Kiev.

On Wednesday, Zelensky stated that the projectile that landed in the Polish village of Przewodow near the Poland-Ukraine border was not Ukrainian. “I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike,” he said at the time.
