She said it was not the first time that drones had been seen beyond the borders of Ukraine “But it is the first time that multiple drones have flown so deeply in the airspace of a neighboring country.“
Mrs. Dicar it said that the UN had no way of verifying any claim or contrademanda around the incident and could only trust the information available publicly.
According to Poland, 19 Russian drones entered their airspace during the night on September 9 and 10 during a large -scale missile and assault of drones to Ukraine. The Polish authorities said that some drones were demolished preventively, and that the debris were later recovered in the central and eastern parts of the country.
The episode marked the first time that NATO’s allies used strength to neutralize such drones.
The Polish authorities reported temporary airport closures in Warsaw and Rzesów and restrictions on air traffic in the east of the country. Although no victims were reported, residential areas in some villages suffered damage.
The Russian Ministry of Defense recognized strikes against the Ukrainian objectives during the same period, but said it had no intention of involving any objective in Poland. According to the reports, Belarus declared that some drones were diverted by the Ukrainian countermeasures and deviated from the course, and added that he warned of neighboring countries when the drones approached their airspace.
Poland invoked article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO Treaty) after the incident, which caused emergency consultations between the 32 member states of the European Security Pact.
Civil toll assemblies in Ukraine

Impact on Russia and occupied regions
Mrs. Dicar also highlighted the toll of war in Russia and in the regions occupied by Russia of Ukraine.
She reminded the Council that attacks against civilians and civil infrastructure, where they occur, are prohibited by international humanitarian law and must stop.
“This week’s events underline the dangerous impact of this war on region’s security and the risk of climbing,” he said.
“Therefore, once again we urgently demand a high full, immediate and unconditional fire in Ukraine. The final state must be a fair, comprehensive and sustainable peace in line with the UN letter, international law and relevant resolutions of the UN.“
