During the investigation, Polish law enforcement officers concluded that the missile that fell in Przewodów last year was probably Ukrainian.

"Rzeczpospolita" writes about this with reference to sources.

"Indeed, we have received the conclusion, but due to its confidential nature, we are not disclosing its contents," the spokesman of the National Prosecutorʼs Office Lukash Lapczyński told reporters. He also said that Poland sent a request for legal assistance to Ukraine and is waiting for a response.

According to the publication, a S-300 5-B-55 (Russian-made) anti-aircraft missile fell in the city of Przewodovo in the Lublin Voivodeship, and the prosecutorʼs office allegedly knows from which place in Ukraine it was launched.

"Rzeczpospolita" sources also claim that the missile could not have been Russian. Investigators believe that the Russian positions at the time were in a place from which no Russian missile could reach Pshevodov, because it has a range of 75 to 90 kilometers.

"Even if we assume that the Russian batteries were in Belarus, then from the place where they stood then to Pshevodov in a straight line is 150 kilometers. Secondly, the Russians do not have this type of missile in Belarus," the article says.
