Top Nato officials used an emergency hotline to Russia to defuse a potentially explosive situation following the missile strike on Poland, the head of the alliance has revealed.
Jens Stoltenberg said there had been communication between Nato and Moscow “in the last 24 hours” but declined to divulge what had been said.
It is clear that a phone call was made immediately after a missile struck the village of Przewodow killing two civilians which could have led to the military alliance invoking Article 5, with the consequence of a direct response on Russia.
But Mr Stoltenberg disclosed that it had become apparent that the missiles were from the Ukraine defence systems fired at the massive wave of 100 Russian cruise missiles that struck the country on Tuesday night.
