MADRID, 16 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government of China has made this Wednesday an appeal for "calm" and "containment" after the death of two people due to the impact of a projectile in Polish territory, in the midst of the conflict in Ukraine.

"We have seen the information. In the current situation, all relevant parties must remain calm and restrained to avoid a worsening of the situation," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.

Likewise, he has stressed that "China's position on the matter in Ukraine is clear and consistent" and has advocated "dialogue and negotiation to resolve the crisis peacefully", according to the news portal China News.

After the incident, the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, called for "action" in response to the "Russian missile attack" on Poland, territory of the Atlantic Alliance, and which puts "collective security" on alert.

However, the Russian Defense Ministry called the accusations of his involvement "deliberate provocation". He also indicated that the Army has not carried out attacks on targets near the border between Poland and Ukraine, at the same time that it has stressed that the photographs of the remains of missiles show that it is not the weapon used by Russia.

For his part, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, has indicated that it is "improbable" that the projectile was fired by Russia, while he has advocated completing the investigation into the event. "There is preliminary information that casts doubt on that," he said, referring to the possibility that Russia launched the projectile.
