After Russian missiles landed in Poland, Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov has emphasized the importance of closing the sky over Ukraine and contributing to the defeat of the Russian aggressor.

Reznikov wrote this on his Twitter account, Ukrinform reports.

"Poland. This is not a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is the reality we've been warning about. We were asking to close the sky, because sky has no borders. Not for Russian uncontrolled missiles. Not for the threat they carry for our EU & NATO neighbors. Gloves are off. Time to win," he said.

Separately, he noted that against the background of Russian missile terror, the seventh meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group would be held on November 16.

Two people were killed in an explosion in the Polish village of Przewodów, Hrubeszów County, Lublin Voivodeship, not far from the Ukrainian border, on Tuesday, November 15. The incident occurred near a grain drying plant at around 15:40 local time.

Western media, citing sources in the intelligence agencies, reported that the incident could have occurred as a result of two Russian missiles crossing into Poland near the border with Ukraine.

Polish government spokesperson Piotr Müller asked the Polish media not to spread unverified information and to wait for official announcements.

On November 15, Russia launched a massive missile attack against Ukraine.
