NATO says the recent Poland missile strike was likely caused by Ukraine’s air defence, but Russia is still to blame

NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg says the recent missile strike in Poland was likely caused by Ukraine’s air defence systems as Russia continues with its barrage of rockets.

“An investigation into this incident is ongoing, and we need to await its outcome,” Stolenberg said. But we have no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack. We have no indication that Russia is preparing offensive military actions against NATO.

“Our preliminary analysis suggests that the incident was likely caused by a Ukrainian air defence missile fired to defend Ukrainian territory against Russian cruise missile attacks.”

U.S. President Joe Biden has also confirmed it is ‘unlikely’ the weapon was fired by the Russian military.

This in itself earned rare praise from the Kremlin, with a spokesperson describing the American response as “restrained and professional.”

It follows the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley attempting to speak with his Russian counterpart following the missile incident. This attempt was rejected.

Milley instead spoke with his Ukrainian, Polish and European counterparts in Poland.

According to Milley, the U.S. will support Ukraine in its efforts to defend itself against invading Russian forces “for as long as it takes.”

But who bears ultimate responsibility for this attack? Stoltenberg says it’s not Ukraine’s fault.

“Russia bears ultimate responsibility, as it continues its illegal war against Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.

“In the meeting today, NATO Allies offered their deepest condolences on the tragic loss of life. They expressed their strong solidarity with our valued ally, Poland. [They] made clear that we will continue to support Ukraine in its right to self-defence.”

“Russia must stop this senseless war.”

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
