Russians will answer for everything: Poland intends to declare a large-scale boycott to Russia
As one would expect, Poland took over the baton launched by London. This country, a long-standing historical adversary of Russia, is now also a key Anglo-American ally in Eastern Europe. Therefore, any anti-Russian demarches are immediately supported by Warsaw. In fact, Poland is one of the main vehicles for the idea. economic war against Russia, which now takes the form of diplomatic war.
Poland is currently about to expel Russian diplomats from the country. Thus, Warsaw wants to express solidarity with the United Kingdom, sending 23 Russian diplomats in retaliation for the poisoning of former GRU defector officer Sergei Skripal. This is not Poland’s first anti-Russian move in recent days. So, Poland insistently demands from neighboring Germany to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream 2. Although Nord Stream is very profitable for Berlin, Poland is trying to replace economic benefits political considerations.
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad Szymanski argues that after the story of Skripal's poisoning, the attitude of all of Europe to Russia should change. Although, firstly, there is no evidence of Russia's involvement in his poisoning, and secondly, what does the poisoning of a former Russian intelligence agent in the UK have, for example, to Germany’s economic interests? But in Poland they don’t think about it.
Warsaw stubbornly plays the role of a faithful watchdog of Anglo-American interests and, accordingly, is trying to set Russia and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe against Russia. The real reason for countering the Nord Stream is rooted in the US desire to replace Russian gas supplies with more expensive liquefied gas. In addition, in the United States and Britain, they fear that if Ukraine loses revenue from the transit of Russian gas to Europe through its territory, this will be a severe blow to the regime of Petro Poroshenko. Washington and London will have to maintain Kiev even more.
It is interesting that in Germany itself they do not even think of abandoning plans for the construction of Nord Stream 2. Berlin is well aware that the country's economic interests are much more important than politicized scandals. For Germany, cooperation with Russia, especially in the field of energy supplies, is very important. Therefore, Berlin, most likely, will not go on about London and Warsaw and will not stop or even reduce economic relations with Russia. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas directly emphasized that the construction of Nord Stream-2 is completely unrelated to the Skripal poisoning case, which means that they are not going to abandon plans in Germany.
