到底是谁把导弹扔到波兰去了?| 外刊晨读
President
Joe Biden said it was “unlikely” that a missile that landed in Poland,
killing two men, was fired from within Russia itself. It is as yet
unclear whether the missile, thought to be Russian-made, was fired by
Russian forces or Ukrainian ones. An actual Russian attack—on a NATO
country—would mark an alarming escalation. But Ukraine uses Russian-made
missiles, notably in air-defence systems. Leaders of the G7 and Western
countries at the G20 held emergency meetings about the matter; NATO and
the UN Security Council will meet today.

UN Security Council 联合国安全委员会。committee和commission也表委员会。三词有些区别。(参看:https://www.zhihu.com/question/34798162)
【参 考 译 文】
美国总统乔·拜登说,落在波兰并造成两人死亡的一枚导弹 "不太可能 "是由俄罗斯本土发射的。目前还不清楚这枚被认为是俄罗斯制造的导弹是由俄罗斯部队还是乌克兰部队发射的。俄罗斯对一个北约国家的实际攻击将标志着一个令人震惊的升级。但乌克兰使用俄罗斯制造的导弹,特别是在防空系统中。七国集团和20国集团中的西方国家领导人就此事举行了紧急会议;北约和联合国安理会将在今天开会。
