Duda provided the Estonian president with an overview of the investigation into the incident, noting that further steps would be decided once the circumstances of the case had become clear, according to a press release. Karis in turn confirmed that Estonia is prepared to assist its ally Poland "as and when needed."

The Estonian head of state described Russia's aggression as a threat to Europe as a whole.

"We can all see that this missile strike on Poland, close to the Ukrainian border, is directly linked to the war of aggression being waged by the Putin regime," he said. "No missiles would be striking Polish soil if Putin had not instigated his war in Ukraine, once again demonstrating the need to reinforce collective defense on NATO's eastern flank — including in terms of air and missile defense."

He added that the massive missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, towns and villages on Tuesday were yet another example of Russian brutality.

President Karis asked that Estonia's condolences be passed on to the families of those killed in the missile strike. "It is a tragedy that two people lost their lives as a result of this incident on Polish soil," he said.
