Morawiecki: Poland can become fully independent from Russian gas at the end of this year

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Wednesday that Poland could become fully independent from Russian gas at the end of this year. 

"Poland, being well aware of the challenges posed by Russia's policy, has started building the Baltic gas pipeline from Norway, constructing several interconnectors, and expanding the gas receiving capacity at our gas terminal in Świnoujście," - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference in Warsaw.

As he added, all these steps have contributed to the fact that "at the end of this year, we will be fully and authentically gas sovereign".
