This was stated by the Minister of Climate and Environment of the Polish Government Paulina Hennig-Kloska, Reuters reports.
According to her, Poland is ready to increase electricity supplies, «if Ukraine asks for it».
«Our operator is ready, the only question is whether Ukraine will want or be forced to use it. Fico's behaviour is at odds with Europe», she said.
As you know, Ukraine officially stopped transporting Russian gas on 1 January 2025 in the interests of national security. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico sharply criticised these actions.
In addition, Slovakia has adopted amendments to immigration laws that reduce state support for Ukrainian refugees from 1 March 2025.
