This kinda makes me curious, what does a diplomat actually do when summoned in this kind of scenario? Apologize? Just relay communication between governments? I can't imagine they can actually promise much, given that they don't have any say in their country's military policy

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Summoning them costs 25 mana, you can’t directly control them and they disappear after two minutes. Also if you summon them again when they are already summoned, the prior summon will re replaced by the new summon.
A diplomat's job is to manage relationships with a foreign entity. They have limited power in what they can actually do, but are invaluable in preventing misunderstandings and in forging alliances. Imagine it as a waiter, they will try their best to serve you but they won't be able to make the food taste good.
what does a diplomat actually do when summoned in this kind of scenario?
In this specific case, publish a statement saying:
“I was handed a note which contained an unsubstantiated claim that allegedly on the morning of 29th December, an airborne object violated Polish airspace, which Polish specialists identified as a Russian guided missile. No proof was presented. My request for documented proof of what was in the note was refused.”
next time destroy anything that violates the polish air space and tell russia to fuck off. they understand only one language...
I understand and support the idea bit Poland can't afford such action.
If Poland takes down an object invading their air space, of probable russian origin, it can be considered a first hostile movement and Russia can move to retaliate.
Being part of the EU, Poland shooting first would drag the entire bloc into an open armed conflict. It may happen but not yet.
but russia is violating their borders...if they would start something it's an easy article 5 case...
I am surprised it wasn't shot down after entering the airspace. I would expect that of a NATO country when a neighboring country is invaded.
Pavel Bure became a wizard?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
RIA Novosti News agency quoted Russia’s charge d’affaires in Warsaw Andrei Ordash as saying Poland had provided no proof of a border violation.
“I told the chargé d’affaires clearly that the repeating of such attempts will be met with a stronger reaction from the Republic of Poland, because it is testing our effectiveness and our approach to defense,” Bartoszewski said according to PAP.
In November 2022, a stray Ukrainian missile struck the Polish village of Przewodow in southern Poland killing two people and raising fears at the time of the war in Ukraine spilling over the border.
Earlier on Friday private broadcaster TV Republika had reported that a search for the object was happening near the town of Hrubieszow in southern Poland.
General Maciej Klisz, operational commander of the Polish armed forces said the missile had flown 25 miles into Poland and that no action was taken against it.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk met army and security services chiefs around midday local time (1100 GMT) to discuss the incident.
The original article contains 579 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Article 5
Russians: "nyet, was Ukrainian NATO woke satanist globohomo missile".
Russian diplomats should be fed to a fucking wood chipper, not "summoned" like some foul underworld beast (they'll never do your bidding anyhow)
"LUCY! You've got some 'splainin' to do!"
Whimpy poles can't even defend their own airspace.
Comon Poland..
