I think it is about time for Germany to start defunding Poland.
The reasoning is rather simple. The pipeline is certainly not a threat to the Polish and Ukrainian supply because Poland has an LNG terminal to import from whoever.

After Katyn Massacre (1) in April and May 1940 (22,000 murdered by Stalin's NKVD) and what is referred to as Katyn Massacre 2, On 10 April 2010, who would blame Poland for total mistrust of Russia in anything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre

On 10 April 2010, an aircraft carrying Polish President Lech Kaczyński with his wife and 87 other politicians and high-ranking army officers crashed in Smolensk, killing all 96 aboard the aircraft. The passengers were to attend a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. The Polish nation was stunned; Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who was not on the plane, referred to the crash as "the most tragic Polish event since the war." In the aftermath, a number of conspiracy theories began to circulate. The catastrophe has also had major echoes in the international and particularly the Russian press, prompting a rebroadcast of Katyń on Russian television. The Polish President was to deliver a speech at the formal commemorations. The speech was to honour the victims, highlight the significance of the massacres in the context of post-war communist political history, as well as stress the need for Polish–Russian relations to focus on reconciliation. Although the speech was never delivered, it has been published with a narration in the original Polish and a translation has also been made available in English.

Germany doesn’t fund Poland. There are EU-level initiatives. But Germany itself doesn’t fund. You Russians are mistaking that with the Norwegian and Swiss funding

The question is what percentage of Poland’s national gas requirements can be fulfilled by that LNG import facility?

I suspect it’s a small percentage.

You seem a little ignorant of history, even recent history.

And Germany return to bossing other countries around, really?
