Already in the summer of 2022, Ukraine plans to gain access to liquefied gas terminals in Poland and Lithuania. This was announced by the head of the Operator of the gas transmission system of Ukraine Serhiy Makogon on Facebook.

“Today, the GIPL interconnector between Poland and Lithuania was launched, which connected the Baltic countries to the European gas market. This is a significant breakthrough in the energy security of the entire region.. It will be much more difficult for Gazprom to blackmail these countries with gas. In the coming days, a tanker with a cargo of liquefied gas LNG for Poland will arrive at the LNG terminal in Klaipeda. And after the completion of the Poland-Slovakia interconnector this summer, Ukraine will also have access to LNG terminals in Poland and the Baltic countries,” Makogon said..

Over the past month, many European countries have announced that in the near future they will refuse energy from Russia in order not to depend on the aggressor state. This position is explained by gas blackmail, which the Russian Federation has already begun to use in relation to some EU countries..

Earlier it was reported that the Netherlands intends to abandon Russian gas before the end of the year.

Why Europe does not agree on a complete embargo on energy exports from Russia? Why a partial or short-term embargo is a false and dangerous strategy? Should Ukraine itself refuse to transit Russian gas The answers to these questions are in the article by Mikhail Gonchar \?
