Polish premier initiates EUR100 bln recovery plan for Ukraine

Systematic support for Ukraine with a plan to restore it for EUR100 billion, tougher sanctions against Russia and overall energy independence are the main postulates that Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki presented at a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels on March 1.

According to the report on the website of the Polish government, Morawiecki stressed the need for a broader view of the Ukrainian issue.

In particular, in addition to the EU-funded EUR100 billion recovery plan for Ukraine, he proposed support for a fast way for Ukraine's accession to the European Union, joint investment and contribution to energy security, that is, independence from the aggressive imperial policy of Russia, implemented at the expense of oil, gas and other hydrocarbons.

"It is also very important to prepare an investment package for Ukraine, because the economy needs new investments and new jobs, and energy security is necessary as an important element of recovery after the war, which may end soon," the official said.

According to him, this will also lead to the fact that this part of Europe will finally become independent of Russian gas, oil and coal.

"This is a necessary condition for peace to reign here in the long term," the prime minister of Poland summed up.

During his visit to Brussels, Morawiecki demanded the most detailed package of sanctions and stressed that it was necessary.

"I called for an embargo on Russian coal and not to buy oil and gas in the coming months. Today, this is the measure by which Putin could finance the war machine," the head of the Polish government explained.
