Polish President Andrzej Duda declared that gas imports from Russia to Western Europe should never recommence, irrespective of any potential peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. In a recent interview at the World Economic Forum, Duda urged the European leaders to reject any temptation to reactivate the Nord Stream pipelines, emphasizing that this would pose significant threats to various Central European countries and fortify Russia's economic control over Europe.

Poland's president stresses the urgent need to dismantle the Nord Stream pipelines during a conversation at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The Polish president affirmed the efficacy of current sanctions on Russia, warning that restoring gas supplies would endanger Ukraine’s security and energy independence. As geopolitical tensions remain high, he highlighted the risks associated with ignoring the historical lessons from past conflicts.
Duda is calling for a comprehensive and cooperative international stance against Russian territorial claims, insisting that Ukraine's perspective is indispensable in any diplomatic negotiations. His comments reflect a growing sentiment among European nations to firmly counteract any form of Russian aggression and maintain unity in support of Ukraine.
The Nord Stream gas pipelines connect Russia and Germany, but have remained dormant since 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and subsequent explosions that damaged them.
Duda warned that economic ties with Russia pose a severe threat, both militarily and diplomatically, urging a decisive stance to prevent Russia from gaining further leverage over European energy resources.
As key political changes approach in Germany, including federal elections, Duda urged European leaders to prioritize collective security over immediate economic incentives from the Kremlin.
"We must not let Russia win this war," he underlined, stressing that any resolution should honor Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Polish leader pointed to the importance of U.S. involvement in the region, particularly under the leadership of Donald Trump, advocating for a united front against ongoing Russian aggression.
