Poland’s Minister of Energy, Miłosz Motyka, stated on Wednesday that support for the Nord Stream project contradicts Poland’s national interests. He explicitly connected support for the pipeline to bolstering the position of Russia and its President, Putin. Motyka’s comments represent a strong condemnation of the project from a key Polish government figure. The Minister believes pursuing Nord Stream ultimately benefits Russia. This assessment underscores ongoing concerns within Poland regarding energy security and reliance on Russian resources. The statement highlights a continuing debate over European energy policy and its geopolitical implications. Motyka did not elaborate on potential consequences, but his words signal firm opposition to the project.
