"No" to Russian raw materials in Poland

"This coal, which we allegedly bought from Russia since 2014, was dug in the Donbas, i.e. in the Ukrainian republics occupied by the Russians," said Dr. Eng. Zbigniew Karaczun, a professor at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences and an expert of the Climate Coalition, which, together with other organizations, appeals to the Polish government to stop importing coal, gas, and oil from Russia as soon as possible and safe for the national economy.

In the appeal signed by 33 non-governmental organizations, experts indicate that further imports of energy resources from Russia would finance the arms of the pro-Kremlin regime, which could ultimately affect not only Ukraine but also Poland. 

"I think this awareness will make us want to do it as soon as possible," the expert said.

The Climate Coalition indicates that in recent years Poland has bought oil and coal from Russia for over PLN 730 billion, while the value of the gas contract for the supply of this raw material is not public.
