Poland Terminates Yamal Agreement

ENERGY

Poland announced today it has terminated its agreement with Russia to receive gas via the Yamal pipeline.

  • Polish Climate Minister Anna Moskwa said on Twitter this morning, "Russia's aggression against Ukraine has confirmed the accuracy of the Polish government's determination to become completely independent from Russian gas. We always knew that Gazprom was not a reliable partner,".
  • Warsaw has refused to comply with Russia's demand for European countries to pay for gas in roubles. Russia shut off gas supplies to Poland in April after the refusal.
  • The Yamal pipeline is being used for reverse supplies of gas from Germany to Poland without interruption according to Poland’s PGNiG.
