Poland is ready to supply electricity to Ukraine, the country’s climate and environment minister, Paulina Hennig-Kloska, said on Tuesday, referring to threats that Slovakia could cut off its neighbor’s electricity supply, Reuters reports, according to Agerpres.
“Poland will be able to increase electricity sales to Ukraine, but only if Ukraine asks for it,” Hennig-Kloska told public broadcaster TVP Info.
“Our operator is ready, it’s just a matter of whether Ukraine wants it or needs it. Fico’s behavior is against Europe,” she added.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said last week that his party would consider cutting off electricity supplies to Ukraine, reducing aid to refugees and demanding the renewal of gas transit or compensation for losses Slovakia says it has suffered due to the cessation of Russian gas flows through Ukraine.
