Ukraine had requested immediate access to the site of an explosion in Poland, thought to have been caused erroneously by a missile.
"Ukraine requests immediate access to the site of the explosion," the secretary of Ukraine's national security and defence council, Oleksiy Danilov, writes on Twitter.
He also says Kyiv is ready to hand over evidence of its allegations that Russia was responsible for the hit, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's accusations against Moscow.

"The proceedings are conducted by Polish and American experts," Andrzej Duda told a news conference this afternoon, "and if anyone was to be allowed to take part in these proceedings, it would need at least the agreement of both parties."
