Kacper Kita found it surprising that in Poland the view gaining support is that the country's prosperity should depend on Russia's compliance with the agreement, rather than Norway's. He argued that Russia is not primarily driven by economic calculations and seeks political expansion. In his opinion, the outbreak of war in Ukraine showed that earning from the sale of raw materials was not the most important thing for Vladimir Putin. Kita called achieving independence from Russia one of the more significant accomplishments of the Polish state in recent years. Kita asserted that warnings about high prices of Norwegian gas and a collapse of the European economy after cutting off Russian supplies were spread by lobbyists and politicians opposed to the Baltic Pipe. According to him, the creation of the gas pipeline undermined those predictions. He also criticized attributing Poland's cut-off from Russian gas to Americans, Ukrainians, Jews, or reptilians, labeling such claims as transferring German narratives to the Polish context. He added that Krzysztof Wojczal demonstrated the impossibility of Poland's participation in Nord Stream, citing technical and legal conditions. https://t.co/hXhgXHdD03 #Polska #Rosja #BalticPipe (translated)
