Poland: Russia has ridiculed the EU’s climate goals

Russia’s actions regarding gas supplies made supporters of the European Union’s plan to combat climate change look ridiculous. This was stated by the chairman of the ruling party in Poland Jaroslav Kaczynski, quoted by Reuters.

Warsaw called EU to cancel or postpone some of its proposals for the “Fit for 55” plan to tackle climate change ahead of the summit, at which European leaders will discuss measures to tackle rising gas and electricity prices.

After Russia’s actions on gas, the creators and defenders of “Ready for 55” to put it mildly, they became a laughing stock“, Kaczynski noted.

He pointed out that energy prices have seriously affected a large part of the EU countries, so their citizens “they simply will not agree to a further increase in the name of some unproven theory. “.

Kaczynski did not know exactly what Russian actions he meant.

British and European wholesale natural gas prices rose in Monday morning trading after tenders showed that Russian gas giant Gazprom reserves about a third of gas transit capacity through Poland in November and has not reserved any volumes through Ukraine.

Europe was looking forward to it more gas supplies, especially from Russia, due to the drastic jump in blue fuel prices.

Poland is one of the largest coal producers in Europe and relies on this fuel for almost 80% of its electricity production.
