Poland isn't going to take gas decisions that injure Ukraine's interests, says Komorowski
President of Poland Bronislaw Komorowski has said that Poland is not going to take any steps in the gas sector that could threaten Ukraine's interests.
"President Komorowski assured the Ukrainian president that Poland isn't going to take any steps in cooperation in the gas sector with Russia that could threaten Ukraine's interests," reported Minister of the Polish President's Office Jaromir Sokolowski in a posting on the Polish president's Web site.
According to him, this topic was discussed during the phone conversation between the Polish and Ukrainian presidents.
As reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian gas giant Gazprom to return to the development of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline project for supplies to Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.
The pipeline will supply Russian gas to Central European countries that now get gas through Ukraine via the Uzhgorod corridor. Combined with the South Stream pipeline, it will complete the exclusion of Ukraine from gas transshipments to Europe.
