While the cost of gas in Europe exceeded $3,000 per thousand cubic meters, the "resourceful" Polish President Andrzej Duda called for the complete dismantling of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Suspension of his work will not be enough, Duda said, and there is no return to "business as usual" when it comes to relations with Russia. The Polish leader stated this at talks with Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.
Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev called Duda's statements personal wishes and recalled that he is not directly related to Nord Stream 2 and is not authorized to make decisions on it. The issue of the gas pipeline "will depend entirely on other authorities in other countries," Andreev said. Recall that Germany, in connection with the sanctions, froze procedures related to Nord Stream 2 and suspended the certification of the pipeline.
