In his view, gas supplies from Russia to Western Europe should never be resumed, "even if Russia and Ukraine reach a peace agreement."
Speaking about the likelihood of gas pipelines operating, Duda mentioned Germany as a country that might "succumb to the temptation to resume Russian supplies" to support its deteriorating economy.
The President of Poland believes that the gas pipelines should be dismantled because they pose "a very significant threat" to Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, and several Central European countries – a threat of both economic and military nature.
