definitively should be fired.

anyone thinking a russian missile, right now, made it all the way across ukraine, undetected, and hit into a polish grain silo… is unfit for the job of reporting such events.

Russia is staging missiles out of Belarus and the Black Sea to target stuff in Western Ukraine. The issue here isn't that the Russians couldn't have hit into Poland but that they jumped the gun on ascribing blame in what's already an insanely tense scenario.

Well, the blame's correctly ascribed, it's Russia's fault that any missiles are flying at all.

Oh for sure, Russia is still ultimately to blame for both the war in general and their own reckless shooting near the border making spillover inevitable eventually. There wouldn't be any air defense missiles landing in Polish fields if they didn't need to be fired to begin with.

Um, even though this was not fired by russia, it actually is in the flight path of missiles that hit Ukraine from Belarus. This would be a missile that landed short of its target, not one that flew all across Ukraine and went too far for some reason.
