Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. File photoMOSCOW, 11 Oct. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has accused Norway of trying to cash in on gas exports to Europe following a decline in supplies from Russia, the Washington Post writes. .
"Critics call energy revenues obscene. The Prime Minister of Poland called on Norway to share its "excessive, gigantic" income with Ukraine, accusing Oslo of indirectly profiting from the conflict", the article says.
The publication emphasized that Oslo does not agree with the reproaches addressed to him, pointing to the support of EU sanctions, the allocation of military assistance to Kyiv, as well as the support of Europe itself with gas. «/>Erdogan warned of the consequences of limiting gas supplies to EuropeAfter the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, Western countries imposed sanctions against Moscow. This plunged Europe into an economic and energy crisis and led to higher fuel and food prices. The situation was aggravated by the shutdown of the main Russian gas pipeline that supplied the continent. Gas exports via Nord Stream completely stopped at the end of August due to a malfunction of a key turbine at the Portovaya compressor station. Russia noted that Siemens gas pumping units could not be repaired due to restrictive measures. At the end of September, leaks occurred on the Nord Stream pipelines. Germany, Denmark and Sweden did not rule out targeted sabotage. The operator Nord Stream AG said that the state of emergency on gas pipelines is unprecedented and it is impossible to estimate the timing of repairs. The Prosecutor General's Office initiated the initiation of a case on an act of international terrorism after the damage to the Nord Streams. Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod announced the government's determination to refuse Russia's participation in the investigation of the sabotage and the identification of those responsible. undamaged branch of Nord Stream 2
