But we will see."Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry dismissed Polish media reports about Russian missiles falling in Poland, adding that its military has performed no strikes targeting the Ukrainian-Polish border zone."Polish mass media and officials commit deliberate provocation to escalate the situation with their statement on alleged impact of 'Russian' rockets at Przewodow," the Russian ministry was quoted as saying by TASS news agency."Russian firepower has launched no strikes at the area between the Ukrainian-Polish border."Poland is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military alliance.
