I suspect that their engagement geometry may have risked the engagement / impact / intercept happening outside of their airspace and thus into Russian airspace...so they chose not to shoot.
...or that the debris would fall over Poland and causing potential hazard to local infrastructure and population.
On the side note, very tasteless animation and post, IMHO, considering that in November 2022 Ukrainian missile fired into Poland killed two people, innocent husbands and fathers of their families. To this day Ukrainian side refused to take any responsibility, participate in the investigation or offer some compensation to the families of the victims.
