Vladimir #Putin said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s motives in his statement on the Nord Stream pipelines were “very simple.”“Poland was already opposed to it at the time, partly because, first of all, it would lose certain geoeconomic advantages as a transit country. And secondly, #Poland would receive less revenue from the transit of our hydrocarbons—indeed, that is what happened; it began receiving less,” the president said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin.
