She recalled that after the start of the US-NATO war against this country, Iraq was divided into four military zones, while one zone was transferred under the command of the Polish contingent.

According to Zakharova, Polish garrisons were stationed in Iraq.

She stated that Polish soldiers for several years in Iraq "killed not only Iraqis, but also comrades in arms."

A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that on June 8, 2004, in the area of ​​the city of Es Suvaira, an explosion in a Polish military vehicle carrying explosives killed six soldiers, including three from Slovakia, two from Poland and one from Latvia.

Zakharova recalled that Polish troops withdrew from the Middle East in 2008.

“How many peaceful Iraqis have been killed has not been counted so far.

Human rights organizations believe hundreds of thousands.

And how many of them were killed by Polish soldiers from a "normal" country? "

- said the speaker of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Earlier, the President of Poland called Russia "an abnormal aggressor country" whose actions cannot be accepted by the international community.

The Kremlin called such rhetoric unacceptable.
