Poland PM Mateusz Morawiecki Announces Plans To Give Up Russian Oil, Coal & Gas This Year

Poland has announced measures to bring an end to all Russian oil imports by the end of 2022. Addressing a news conference, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that they proposed a plan in Europe to end all imports of Russian hydrocarbons including oil, coal and gas. The decision taken by Poland's PM comes a day after the country announced that it was intending to ban Russian coal imports by May, according to AP. 

Poland Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced that Poland will take measures to become “independent” of Russian supplies, according to AP. He called on other European Union countries to also take similar action and not import Russian supplies. Morawiecki asserted that money paid for Russian oil and gas is fuelling the war machine in Ukraine. Poland's PM has said that while others in Europe called "Russia" a business partner, they were aware that Moscow was using gas and oil as a tool for "blackmail."
