Anna Moskwa made the declaration after meeting Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko in Kyiv, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
Polish-Ukrainian energy ties
Moskwa said: “During the war, Ukraine has aligned itself fully with the European system. Now it’s time to step up this cooperation by renewing the energy link between Poland and Ukraine … so that energy can be sent from Ukraine to Poland.”
She told reporters that “this project will operate not just during the war, but afterwards, too.”
Team-ups between Polish, Ukrainian fuel firms
Moskwa told reporters that Polish and Ukrainian state energy companies were working on "improving the performance of the link" so that energy flows faster.
“Cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian companies as regards fuel has never been so good,” she said.
