Poland’s deputy prime minister accused France and Germany of being too close to Russia
(In an interview printed on Sunday)


Reuters has published the following summary of the interview, which was given to German daily Die Welt.

“Germany, like France, has a strong bias in Moscow’s favour,” said Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who is also leader of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party.

“Over the years, the German government did not want to see what Russia was doing under the leadership of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and we see the result today,” Kaczynski said.

“Poland is not pleased with Germany’s role in Europe,” he added.

He rebuked Berlin for having sought to rebuild what the former 19th century chancellor Otto von Bismarck “had done... German domination but side by side with Russia”.

The Polish deputy prime minister condemned Berlin especially for failing to deliver enough weapons to Ukraine and refusing an embargo at least on the import of oil from Russia.

“It’s important to know that Russia gets four to five times more revenue from its oil sales than gas sales,” Kaczynski said.

“We cannot continue to permanently support a great power like Russia by paying it billions,” he added.

Before Russia’s invasion on February 24, Germany imported 55 percent of its natural gas from Russia, half its coal and around 35 percent of its oil.

  1. France is just being its usual perfidious Gallic nature.

    When the shut hits the fan , as they say, France has a long history going back to 1940 of cowardice and trustworthiness.

    Germany made a an emotional and political, not fact-based, realistic, decision to dump nuclear power and prematurely shut down all its nuclear stations in 2011... and be dependent Russia-supplied fossil fuels instead.

    Renewable power is important, but it is an inescapable fact that the sun doesn't shine at night, and there are many dark overcast days in winter, and the wind doesn't blow every day or all day.

  2. Wakakakakaka…

    Talking from a fart filled well!

    The realism of European geopolitics dictates that EU needs Russia energy resources more than Russia needs EU fiat monies!

    Including the domestic energy needs of Poland.

    Either this deputy pm is just talking syiok-sendiri or he is actually a know-nothing dickhead propped up with the financial supports of the US oligarchs (that's what soro represents) to drive his nation (mmm… s possible dual nationality) interest!

  3. The Russian gas supply to that 3 big-mouthed Baltic states has been turned off as of today.

    Let see how long they can last, both in keeping warm & cozy & running their industries.

    Poland would soon beg the Yankee for his energy needs & see NOTHING coming from across the Atlantic!

    Maybe the Polish could take a lesson from the dickheaded 台毒 to generate their energy needs from bedroon activities.
