‘Baltic pipe’ with ... a plug

The future of Ukraine is not in energy friendship with Poland, but in gas autonomy - this was said in an interview with the newspaper "Day" by the president of the Centre for Global Studies "Strategy XXI" Mykhailo GONCHAR.

"Gas marriage" with Poland is needless for Ukraine. "Considering the Polish approaches to Ukraine, I would have thought many times before trying to bind myself with additional economic or energy bundles with a country that is conducting increasingly unfriendly policy towards Ukraine", the expert said in an interview with the "Day".

- Baltic Pipe is one of the key projects that has always been put on the agenda when the Right and Justice party gains power in Poland.

But, given the scale of the project, Poland itself cannot implement it, despite the full political support of Norway. Because the Norwegians are not going to finance it. In addition, the "weakness" of this project was always the lack of gas demand at the end of the pipe. Volumes of gas consumption in Poland are not that big.
