Polish Prime Minister’s verbal attack on Norway over developments in Ukraine

According to Fars News Agency’s International Group, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki verbally attacked the Norwegian government over oil and gas sales revenues and Helsinki’s stance on the Ukraine war.

According to the news agency «SputnikMoravitsky claimed that the Norwegian government was investing in energy prices in the wake of the war in Ukraine and that it should share these benefits with other countries.

He criticized Norway’s “hundreds of billions of euros” in oil and gas exports, calling it “unfair” and “wrong.”

In response to the Polish Prime Minister’s remarks, Norwegian Foreign Minister Ewind Wad Patterson said that despite the increase in revenues from oil and gas exports, the country was facing financial problems like other European countries due to the loss of the Norwegian stock market.

Jorn Holm Hansen, a senior fellow at the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research, said of Murawitzki’s remarks that he was trying to divert attention from Poland’s problems.

“Mr. Prime Minister is a professional politician,” the Norwegian expert said of Moravitsky. He is not one to make such statements without first thinking. “His career has an internal audience.”

Hansen added that the Polish prime minister intends to tell his people that the country’s problems are of foreign origin and that their solution lies abroad, and that Morawiecki may intend to raise the issue of Norway accepting Ukrainian asylum seekers.

However, the Norwegian Green Party, quoting the Polish Prime Minister, said: “We believe that it is wrong to transfer these revenues to the oil fund. “We believe that instead we should deposit it in the Solidarity Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine.”

Since the start of the Ukraine conflict, the Norwegian government has sent a large amount of financial and military aid to Kiev and closed its ports and borders to Russia.
