Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy appeared to soften his stance on the origin of the rocket that caused a lethal blast in Poland this week and said a team would investigate, in an interview that concluded the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.

“I don’t know 100% -- I think the world also doesn’t 100% know what happened,” Zelenskiy said via a translator in an interview at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore on Thursday. “We can’t say specifically that this was the air defense of Ukraine.”
