Firing from a grenade launcher donated by Ukrainians in the office of the Polish police chief. New details
The chief of the Polish police, General Jaroslaw Szymczyk, is still listed as a casualty, although it was he who fired from a grenade launcher donated by his Ukrainian colleagues in his office, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The incident with the shooting from a grenade launcher in the office of the chief of police of Poland on December 19 was finally commented on by the prime minister and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of this country. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that in this case “a very thorough analysis is carried out, which should lead to quick conclusions"as to what happened and how, "so that the Minister of Internal Affairs and I can evaluate this and make appropriate decisions».
In turn, Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski wrote on Twitter:
“In connection with the current situation with the Ukrainian gift to General Yaroslav Szymczyk, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denis Monastyrsky expressed his readiness to come to Poland and meet with me. The meeting will take place soon.
At the same time, cutting off speculation in the media, I rule out the dismissal of the Polish police chief.”
At the same time, new details of what happened are emerging. Thus, senator from the opposition “Civic Coalition” Krzysztof Breiza posted on Twitter “A brief history of the grenade launcher, and why Szymczyk is a victim and not a suspect awaiting a detention hearing».
According to the senator, at the end of the meeting in Kyiv, General Szymchik received from the Ukrainians “RGW-90 HH combat grenade launcher, not a toy, but a heavy grenade launcher (not a boombox with speakers)" He added that "the gentlemen threw the RGW-90 into the trunk of the car and crossed the border (smuggled a grenade launcher)».
Reconstructing the course of events on December 14, Breiza reported that “Szymczyk entered the back room, the grenade launcher stood vertically, the boss wanted to show his deputies what he had brought from Ukraine", and then "After removing the safety on the RGW, the light began to flash, he pulled the trigger, and at 7:55 a shot was fired" The grenade hit the ceiling and pierced it, but did not explode due to the too short distance to the target - otherwise there would have been much more destruction and casualties.
According to the senator, after the explosion of the grenade launcher, panic reigned.
“At first it was stated that the roof collapsed due to snow. But it was unrealistic to support this version,” writes Breiza, adding that “a complete information embargo was introduced,” and also that “there were plenty of bottles of alcohol near the grenade launcher».
The politician claims that the prosecutor’s office did not order to check the offices of all members of the Polish police delegation who visited Ukraine, did not order a search in Szymczyk’s apartment, and even his driver was not immediately interrogated.
“The agreements give them time to come up with their version of events,” the senator writes.
“It is also scandalous that the police carried out investigative actions against their boss, although this should have been done by another service,” concluded Krzysztof Breiza.
Neither the police nor the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs denied the senator’s words.
Как reported “PolitNavigator”, a “gift from Ukraine” exploded in the building of the Polish Police Headquarters, as a result, the Chief of Police of Poland, General Jaroslaw Szymczyk, was hospitalized.
