Poland is ready to supply electricity to Ukraine if requested, amid Slovakia's threats to cut power, highlighting tensions in European energy politics.
WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland is ready to supply Ukraine with electricity, Minister of Climate and Environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska said on Tuesday, referring to threats that Slovakia could cut off power supplies to its neighbour.
"Poland will be able to increase electricity sales to Ukraine, but only if Ukraine asks for it," Hennig-Kloska told public broadcaster TVP Info.
"Our operator is ready, it is only a matter of whether Ukraine will want or have to use it. Fico's behaviour is against Europe," she added.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said last week that his party would consider cutting electricity supplies to Ukraine, lowering aid to refugees, and demanding the renewal of gas transits or compensation for losses he said Slovakia had suffered due to the end of Russian gas flows through Ukraine.
