“As promised more than 6 years ago, we kept our word. Today, gas transmission to Poland via the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline began,” the message says.

The company clarified that at first the volume of gas pumping will be 62.4 million cubic meters per day.

The Polish government has stated that the republic plans to replace Russian gas with gas supplies via the Baltic Pipe. On April 27, Gazprom suspended gas exports to Poland due to non-payment for deliveries under the new scheme in rubles.
