Poroshenko decided to scare the Poles with tanks on the border
If Russia, after putting the Nord Stream 2 pipeline into operation, gets rid of the need to maintain gas transit through Ukrainian territory, Russian tanks may appear on the Polish border.
Secretary of the Committee on National Security and Defense, Verkhovna Rada deputy Ivan Vinnyk stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, today 100 billion cubic meters of gas flow through Ukraine to Europe, which is almost half of the total consumption.
“I am far from thinking that Russia will agree to sign an independent contract for transporting gas to Europe through Ukrainian territory, because today they are focused on the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project. This is an alternative way to deliver gas to Europe...
If Ukraine ceases to play such an important role in ensuring the energy security of Europe, then Putin will use energy weapons as much as possible against the EU countries, against NATO countries, and thus Russian tanks may appear not only on the borders of Ukraine, but also on the borders of Poland,” – Vinnyk said.
