Poland and Ukraine to build energy bridge

This week in Warsaw, the Polish and Ukrainian parliaments' delegations have been discussing both countries' energy security and the matter of the energy bridge connecting Ukraine and the EU. The draft of the bridge was approved by a special regulation of the Ukrainian government on June 15. In line with the project, Ukraine would be able to export electric energy surpluses to the EU, Poland would pay for it with coal and natural gas that Ukraine needs.

"With no doubt, this is important for both Poland and Ukraine. We may create a gas hub for Central and Eastern Europe between Poland and Ukraine," Ukrainian MP Anatoliy Matviyenko told Newseria Polish press agency.

 In Matviyenko's opinion, the project may be launched within six months.
