Another possibility is you do not want it falling on a Polish built up area, better to let it pass than cause injuries on the ground.

Extract from Soviet military mapping showing Oserdòw/Осердув and the Polish Ukrainian border.
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.

Might have been useful in a nuclear war, but not a cheap drone….
Out of all the vehicles that have been pulled out of storage and used by Russia in this war, this is one that was really at the bottom of my list to even see in theatre, never mind be destroyed.
The video shows what appears to be a Ladoga protected command vehicle, I won’t talk too much about it here as I made a whole post on the vehicle, so check below for the full info on it, in short it was designed to move senior Kremlin staff around under safety in the event of a nuclear attack, it was trialled in 1986 at the Chernobyl NPP.

Russia's ambassador to Poland refused to go to the Polish Foreign Ministry, where he was invited about the missile that violated Polish airspace
"Warsaw has not provided an evidentiary basis," - Sergei Andreev said.
Polish Foreign Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said in response that further steps would be taken in this regard in the near future.
The minister called the Russian ambassador's decision erroneous: "This is an expression of contempt and we cannot remain indifferent to it," he said.

I wonder at the loyalty that his army will demonstrate in the case of invading Poland versus defending Belarus.
Hopefully that will remain an unknown.

Knock knock… Wonder who was home.
Kherson Oblast, the Ukrainian Air Force conducts a precision strike on a Russian-occupied building with a pair of standoff bombs.
Both arrive at nearly the same time, leveling the structure.

UN: At least 32 Ukrainian POWs executed in Russian captivity during winter
At least 32 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POW), recently captured by Russia, have been executed between Dec. 1, 2023, and Feb. 29, a report by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said on March 26.
Reports of Ukrainian POWs being tortured or killed while in Russian captivity have been surfacing since the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. As of late February, the Prosecutor General's Office said 19 criminal investigations were underway regarding the execution of 45 Ukrainian POWs.
OHCHR said it had recorded 12 cases of executions of at least 32 captured Ukrainian POWs during the winter, suggesting that some of them presumably were killed in groups.
"OHCHR has verified three of these incidents in which Russian servicemen executed seven Ukrainian servicemen hors de combat," reads the report, which is based on interviews with 60 Ukrainian soldiers released from captivity.
Their accounts confirmed the previously documented facts of widespread torture, inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment of Ukrainian POWs in Russian captivity, as well as detention conditions that do not comply with international law, OHCHR said.…
