Well, Ukraine won't have fired the missile if Russia had not been bombing Ukraine like the Americans bombed Iraq and Afghanistan and Israel bombs the palestinans...

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Don't back a side in this war.

Ukraine Killings of Pro Russians in the Donbas areas of Ukraine prior to the " invasion "necessitated the Russia 'Special Military Operations " in Ukraine early this year which is still on going.

You see, Russia would not have invaded if Zelensky had not been killing pro Russians civilians in the donbas region of Ukraine, And if Nato had not been expanding into Russia territory/sphere of influence after all, as you put it, every action has an equal and opposite reaction!

Besides, you don't have the right to ask him to not back a side in the war!

This war is more political than any other thing both sides are currently claiming. Asides the Cold War era, I have never seen or read of a war this rife with propaganda. It’s so difficult to tell what is true and what is not. Buh what’s my own there, we’re in a fight for our very existence as a nation here. Ionknow why some people here are more concerned about a war on another side of the globe with casualty figures that hasn’t reached ours in Nigeria without a war! So Ukraine can handle theirs while we mind ours! All I know for a certain is that Naija will be better with a Peter Obi as President than any of the other candidates reeking blatantly with ulterior motives. grin

And we.can go back to when russia violated Ukrainian independence over the last 400 years and how they invaded Ukraine in 1924 and made it part of the ussr.

You know you sound stupid here? If the AP in New York is propaganda and fake News media that wants to escalate the war they would have gone ahead and play along with the news brought in by their journalist in the warzone. Instead they acted like a professional news agency and did their investigation. Stop badmouthing America news media! Most news agency around the world are legit and fair in their news, even our very one Channels news are trying.

When The Associated Press wrote last week that Russia had struck a village in Poland with a missile, fears quickly rose the event would escalate the Ukraine-Russia war into an even bigger conflict.

But it soon appeared that Russia did not fire the missile. And one of the journalists behind the article is now no longer at the news organization.

The reporter, James LaPorta, who had worked at The A.P. since April 2020, had provided information that Russia was to blame from a single U.S. intelligence source. The A.P. used that information in a news alert: “A senior U.S. intelligence official says Russian missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people.”

The significance of the alleged event was immediately apparent: It could escalate the war.

The information was soon proven wrong. The NATO secretary general and Polish officials said the explosion was most likely caused by a Ukrainian air-defense missile that was fending off a Russian attack and went off course.


The A.P. corrected the article the next day, stating that the erroneous report was “based on information from a senior American intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity.”

The correction said: “Subsequent reporting showed that the missiles were Russian-made and most likely fired by Ukraine in defense against a Russian attack.”

In a response to questions about Mr. LaPorta, Lauren Easton, a spokeswoman for The A.P., said in a statement, “When our standards are violated, we must take the steps necessary to protect the integrity of the news report. We do not make these decisions lightly, nor are they based on isolated incidents.”

Mr. LaPorta declined to comment for this article.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Mr. LaPorta thanked “the multitude of journalists, editors and long-time readers that have reached out to me with words of encouragement and kindness. It sincerely means the world.”

Mr. LaPorta covered national security and the U.S. military for The A.P. He previously worked as a reporter for Newsweek, Frontline PBS, United Press International and the Daily Beast. He is a Marine Corps veteran and served in the Afghanistan war. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was a military adviser for the NBC show “This Is Us.”

The news of Mr. LaPorta’s departure from The A.P. was reported earlier by The Daily Beast

They have him fired because this very one was obvious over the years mainstream media’s has mislead a lots of people most especially we Africans/Nigeria to be precise to think America is usually right and have no fault in event of wars and chaos going on in the world but they don’t know that media is a tool to orchestrate propaganda and gather sympathy from the world seeing them as a saint and see those who they’re invading as wicked people, Iraq Afghanistan Libya Syria all invaded by the US meanwhile they’re the real enemy of peace in the world, Russia was blamed for blowing up its own Nordstream2 oil pipeline till date all of those who did due diligence on the events that occurs kept mute and never released their reports because their findings really amazed them of who sabotage the pipelines US has long been kicking against the project of Nordstream2 since they sighted that project an intelligent person will understand the play there because such water territories is controlled by NATO, they’ve been covering up the killings of unarmed civilians in Donbass and Luhansk regions of Ukraine by the Ukrainian government backed by the US supplying them weapons from 2014 till the date Russia decided to invade the country I am not taking side with Russia for invading them but it’s painful that the Ukrainian government is acting like a puppets playing to the tune of NATO&US he is being used to wage proxy war against Russia, soon una eyes go open to see the truth

The U.S. and NATO fed us the lie we all now believe.

That was a Russian missile and attack mistakenly or on purpose targeted Poland.

The news we believe is true is to save face of NATO and Russia.

Oga don't say what u can't substantiate. The US secretary of defence was emphatic that they were investigating and in consultation with their allies on the matter when it was first reported. Upon thorough investigation and in consultation with their allies they came out and told the world the missile wasn't from Russia but rather from Ukraine.

Propaganda went wrong. This one has been made a scapegoat. It's interesting to see how US propaganda has been failing in Russia. Everyone can see through the ruse. First was the claim that Russia was planning a chemical attack on Ukrainian civilians. These were the same claims NATO used to justify the bombing of Iraq, Syria, and Libya.

They first claim the government is getting desperate and planning a chemical attack. The government denies these claims but the chemical attack happens anyway and the government denies responsibility and even offers the UN to inspect its chemical weapons stock. But NATO (which is responsible for the chemical attacks) refuses the inspection offer, insists the government did it, and use it to justify attacks on government forces.

Russia, knowing all the tricks in NATO's arsenal, realized NATO was planning a chemical attack when they started making noise about an impending Russian chemical attack. Russia raided a chemical lab in Mariupol where the US and Ukraine were preparing chemical weapons to use on Ukrainian civilians and blame Russia. Ukraine and the US denied ownership of the lab, but the noise they were making about Russia planning to use chemical weapons on Ukrainian civilians ended after that.

Now, they wanted to create another false flag operation by claiming Russia fired a missile into Poland but that too has backfired. Ukraine and the US deliberately fired the missile into Poland. Or how in the name of God did a missile trying to shoot down a Russian missile ended up in Ukraine? Poland is to the west of Ukraine and Russia is to the east. Is the so-called air-defense missile not supposed to travel east, toward the direction of the Russian missile? How did it end up traveling west? How did it end up on a random farm and not a bush?

Might be wrong BUT most Missiles are being fired from Ukraine occupied regions i.e Regions in Ukraine captured by Russian Fighters.

The entire Battle is being FOUGHT on Ukraine soil

Ukraine Killings of Pro Russians in the Donbas areas of Ukraine wasn't really what forced RUSSIA to invade UKRAINE.

RUSSIA invaded UKRAINE because Ukraine went against agreement to stay Neutral, and never join NATO

Maybe because the WEST finally faced something >= THEM
The WEST / NATO / EU / etc seriously want the FIGHT to end for a number of reasons, most of which they never envisioned would back fire on them, rather than on Russia.

think deeper bro... America doesn't want to get involved "directly" with Russia.

The proxy war is in their best interest... If you have a golden opportunity to destroy your enemy without losing a single soldier or having a single missile land in your territory, wouldn't you hold on to it rather than getting involved directly?

Russia is a vast country... With its population scattered all over the country, which is an advantage in case of a nuclear war. Unlike US. A nuke in NY city or LA won't be funny considering the population concentration in those Areas.

Both Russia and US does not want direct war with each other... They are both smarter than that.

And besides... No news in the world is legit. Everyone reporting in line and in favor of its region's best interest.

BBC is the worst... If you like put a gun to their reporters head, they would still be lying. BBC is the headquarters of western propaganda. Even Russian state media dey learn work from BBC in terms of propaganda.
