Recently released photos showing the aftermath of Polish National #Police Commander Jarosław Szymczyk accidentally firing a rocket launcher gifted by #Ukraine in his office last December. The photos shown appear to corroborate Szymczyk’s statements on what happened, where he said “When I was moving the used grenade launchers, which were gifts from the Ukrainians, there was an explosion," adding that "The explosion was powerful - the force of the impact went through the floor and damaged the ceiling." There are still conflicting reports on whether or not the launcher, a RGW-90, was fired while trying to show it off during a meeting. Szymczyk later told Rzeczpospolita that he felt like a victim, explaining that he was assured the launcher was inert when it was gifted to him by the Ukrainian State Service for Emergency Situations during a visit at the time. “If I can blame myself for anything, it’s that I trusted too much. But I can’t imagine not trusting the services we work with in such a partnership,” he said (📷 Krzysztof Brejza) #AtlasNewsUpdatePoland
