Polands Foreign Minister Radosaw Sikorski has reacted ironically to the end of Russian gas transit through Ukraine.
Source Sikorski on X Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details Putin spent billions building Nordstream to circumvent Ukraine and blackmail Eastern Europe with the threat of cutting off gas supplies.
Today Ukraine cut off his ability to export gas direct to the EU.
Whoever digs a hole for others will fall into it himself..., the Polish foreign minister tweeted.Background The agreement between Ukraine and Russia on the transit of Russian gas expired in 2024.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine was not considering renewing the transit agreement with Russian energy giant Gazprom and made it clear that Kyiv would not agree to pump Russian gas under the guise of Azerbaijani gas.
Against this backdrop, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico sharply criticised Zelenskyy, sent a letter to EU leaders expressing dissatisfaction with Kyivs actions, and threatened to cut off electricity supplies to Ukraine.
The European Commission, on the other hand, emphasised that the EU is ready for Ukraine to stop transiting Russian gas.
