Nope, they didn't. That's what was the interesting thing about it.
NATO said they were Ukrainian. Ukrainians stayed adament they were russian. Ukraine didn't even apologize to Poland for their (allgedly) missile killing two polish citizens.
That's what made clear to me that it was indeed a russian missile, and NATO covered it up because they didn't want to intervene. Which is also why they denied Ukrainain specialists access to the impact site for days.
I'm going off the deep end a bit here, but reports started off with two missiles. I thought it must have been a Ukrainian AA missile chasing a Russian cruise missile, with the Russian missile responsible for the deaths.
Then news suddenly shut up about the second missile, and started selling it as one Ukrainian missile.
I wouldn't be surprised it was covered up so NATO didn't get tested.
