If Ukraine hadn't subsquently syphoned gas for itself maybe it's Polish neighbor would have gotten the gas destined for Poland.

In case you didn't read the article, Poland's intention is to reduce its reliance on Russian gas.

The problem is, that such a situation happens second time within last 2 years.
More or less 2 years ago Gazprom and its Belarussian parnter had problems with reaching an agreement and Gazprom did the same, what they've been doing now to Ukraine.
At that time it lasted only 1 day, but anyway - Poland's supplies were also suspended, because Russia wanted to show Belarus its place in the line (and most of Russian gas to Poland flows through Belarus).
So how Russia can be considered as a reliable partner?
How Poland can be sure, that one day they don't do the same to us?

Hello, Poland does not plan to rely that strongly in the future on Russia = bad for Russia.
