Poland terminates Yamal gas pipeline agreement with Russia

Poland decided to terminate an intergovernmental agreement with Russia on the Yamal gas pipeline, Polish Climate Minister Anna Moskwa said on Twitter on Monday, reported from Nasdaq. 

"Russia's aggression against Ukraine has confirmed the accuracy of the Polish government's determination to become completely independent from Russian gas. We always knew that Gazprom was not a reliable partner," Moskwa said. 

Termination of the contract was a natural step following a halt of Russian supplies to Poland last month, which was a breach of contract, she said. The move does not impact gas flows from Germany to Poland via the pipeline operated by a Polish entity, she added in comments for PAP newswire.
