Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki believes that the incident with a gas leak on the Russian pipelines "Nord Stream" and "Nord Stream-2" may indicate Russia's preparation for an escalation in the war with Ukraine.
This is reported by RMF24.
"We can clearly see that this is an act of sabotage. An act that probably means the next stage of escalation of the situation we are dealing with in Ukraine," Moravetskyi said on Tuesday.
He also emphasized that the situation showed the dangers inherent in energy cooperation between Russia and Germany.
"Today we also know that Nord Stream 1 is a gas pipeline through which the blood of Ukrainians also flowed," added the Polish Prime Minister.
In an interview with TVP Info on Tuesday evening, Moravetskyi supported the opinion that the incident at the Russian gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea was an act of sabotage.
"Therefore, this is a signal from Russia - most likely, because we are still waiting for confirmation of these circumstances, and this is very disturbing. This is what shows what means and mechanisms the Russians can use to destabilize Europe even more," - believes the head of the government. Poland.
As reported, on the night of September 26, the controller of the Nord Stream-2 shore site recorded a sharp drop in pressure in the pipeline. In addition, a gas leak was recorded from both threads of the first "Nord Stream" - in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark to the northeast of the island of Bornholm.
In Germany, they suspect that the gas leak on the branches of the Russian Nord Stream gas pipelines across the Baltic Sea is the result of deliberate actions. Denmark and Sweden do not rule out that it could be sabotage.
