Duda noted that Poland opposes the construction of gas pipelines between Russia and Germany, saying it was a “political project” aimed at bypassing Poland and the Baltic states. He called for the dismantling of the new Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, the TV channel notes.
“We have been protesting against this from the beginning,” he said.
“Russia is blackmailing not only Germany, now Russia is blackmailing, in fact, the whole of Europe,” Duda said.
