PiS MEP Witold Waszczykowski submitted a parliamentary question to the European Commission in which he suggests the need to draw lessons from Ukraine’s experience regarding Russian attacks on critical energy infrastructure.
The PiS politician notes that “the production capacity of Ukraine’s energy sector has been reduced to about 60 percent compared to the period before the invasion; last winter, as many as 12 million households were left without electricity; the Russians have launched over 250 missile attacks on energy infrastructure facilities, despite their civilian nature, and cyberattacks are also wreaking havoc.”
Recalling Dmitry Medvedev’s recent remarks about a potential Russian nuclear attack on European capitals, Waszczykowski demands answers to the following questions:
"1. Is the European Commission drawing on Ukraine’s experience in the area of energy security to make EU countries more resilient to potential Russian attacks on European energy infrastructure, including hybrid and cyberattacks?
2. If so, who in the European Commission is leading this work, what stage is it at, and what specific steps has the European Commission taken in this regard?”
