Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government extends our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of those who lost their lives in Przewodów, and express full solidarity with our friends in Poland.
The Polish authorities have stated that the evidence at this stage points to this being a tragic accident rather than a deliberate attack.
However, this incident would not have occurred were it not for Russia’s ongoing barbaric and indiscriminate attacks across Ukraine. These criminal acts are in violation of international law, and are causing deep suffering to innocent civilian populations. We demand an immediate end to these attacks, and full accountability for Russian aggression.
We will continue to monitor developments and remain in close contact with partners.
