Razoritsya, but not to buy Russian gas decided in Poland. Local oil and gas company PGNiG signed a five-year contract for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States. This is reported on the official website of PGNiG. Supplying gas from the state of Louisiana will be the British company Centrica.

The first tanker will come next year. As the head of PGNiG Petr Wozniak pointed out, this long-term contract is the first, but not the last, as it is necessary "to increase the energy security of the region where the Russian gas historically dominates". From Wozniak's words it follows that he expects to save from Gazprom not only Poland, but also other states of Central Europe. The fact that a number of European countries, in particular Germany, took care of itself and its neighbors, promoting the Nord Stream-2 project, the head of the Polish company chose not to speak.

Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Vitold Vashchikovsky said that Warsaw does not plan to conclude any more contracts for the supply of "blue fuel" from Russia. Recall that the current agreement ends in 2022. , namely it covers two thirds of Poland's natural gas needs.

The fact that the US can help Poland and other European countries get rid of the need to buy fuel from Gazprom, US President Donald Trump said this summer during his meeting with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda. The test tanker with transatlantic fuel Poland took in June. The cost of LNG from the US is not called.
