He wrote on Twitter: "I expressed my condolences to the death of a Polish citizen as a result of the Russian missile attack. We exchanged information that could be obtained and clarified all the facts. Ukraine and Poland, all of Europe and the world are Russian terrorists. We must be completely protected from it.”
