Poland has not yet decided on construction of oil pipeline from Ukraine to Gdansk

This was announced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at the request of PAP, Wnp.pl reports.

The ministry noted that in 2023, the Polish and Ukrainian parties remained in working contact to discuss detailed legal issues and technical possibilities of building a pipeline for the transportation of vegetable oil from Ukraine. However, in light of the fact that “this type of investment has never been realized in Poland, and most likely in the world, there are many questions from both the Polish and Ukrainian sides.”

A memorandum on the possible construction of a 600 km long oil pipeline to connect Yahodyn in Volyn Oblast and Gdansk was signed in 2022 during the Economic Forum in the Polish Karpacz by Mykola Solskyi, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, and his then-colleague Henryk Kowalczyk.

Since September 15 last year, Poland has imposed an embargo on the import of grain, corn, rapeseed, sunflower, and their processed products from Ukraine to Poland. At the same time, Warsaw is negotiating with the European Commission and Kyiv to restrict exports of other agricultural products from Ukraine, including poultry and sugar, to Poland and the EU.
