Was there an attack in Smolensk?

On April 10, Poland commemorated the 14th anniversary of the Smolensk Disaster (Bolesławiec commemorations), in which 96 people died, including the President of the Republic of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, and his wife, Maria Kaczyńska. It was a great tragedy. Unfortunately, it is still being used for political purposes to this day.

There is an ongoing dispute over the causes of this tragic event. This dispute divides Polish society. One side is trying at all costs to prove that an attack took place in Smolensk. The other side claims that Smolensk was the site of an aviation disaster with tragic consequences, caused by a combination of many factors and circumstances.

Here is the AI's answer:

For many years, there has been a dispute in Poland over whether the Smolensk disaster was the result of an attack.

In 2016, the Polish prosecutor's office reopened the investigation into the Smolensk disaster. During the investigation, more than 300 witnesses were questioned, and the prosecutor's office analyzed more than 100,000 documents. In 2020, the prosecutor's office issued a statement saying that the disaster resulted from negligence on the part of Russian services, but that there was no evidence that it was the result of an attack.

Some politicians and commentators still believe that the Smolensk disaster was the result of an attack; however, there is no evidence for this.
