Even as consensus emerged that Russia did not fire the missile that killed two people in Poland, the spillover of the war into NATO territory could spur Ukraine’s allies to provide new military aid at a crucial phase in the war.
The spillover of the war into Poland, a NATO member, could spur Kyiv’s backers to provide improved air defense and ground attack systems, experts told NBC News, even as consensus emerged that an errant Ukrainian defensive missile had likely caused the deaths of two people in a village near the countries' border.
Moscow’s forces have increasingly assaulted civilian targets from the air while digging in behind new lines after a series of battlefield retreats. “This just shows the recklessness of Russia engaging targets that close to the Polish border. It’s either incompetence or they don’t care,” he said.Hodges said he hoped the Poland strike would see an improvement not just to Ukrainian air defenses, but also to its surface-to-surface capabilities by providing the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, which has a range of about 300 kilometers .
“This is an awful thing that wouldn’t have happened if Russia hadn’t launched a war on Ukraine,” said Ian Bond, director of foreign policy at the Centre for European Reform think tank in London, and a former senior NATO diplomat. “There has been a war in Europe for the last eight years; it’s just that most of Europe was able to close its mind to it. We like to imagine that this is war in a faraway country, but it’s really not that far at all.
