We had some topics two years ago, who blew up the natural gas pipeline in Nord Stream 2 during the construction process. We say that Russia and Europe maintained very close energy cooperation before the war. During the cooperation process, European countries such as Russia and Germany benefited.

Countries such as Germany have gained cheap natural gas supplies and reduced their manufacturing costs. After the Nord Stream Pipeline was bombed, German manufacturing costs soared by 6%. Therefore, many German companies, especially mid-to-high-end companies, are now setting up factories in China. The costs in Germany are too high.

The Nord Stream Pipeline is also beneficial to Russia. The natural gas it sells to Europe is about 40% more expensive than the natural gas it sells to Asian countries. It would be cost-effective to sell it to Europe. After all, Europe is a developed country and can afford it.

At that time, we were judging who blew up Nord Stream natural gas pipeline, so we said that the first possibility was the US-British group, and the second possibility was the Ukrainian-Polish group. Now this thing has been found, the Ukrainian, Zhuskolev, now arrested in Poland. He admitted that he had done this action that year, but in 2024, the Polish court explained that whether the person who took the action wanted to break the law depends on the specific circumstances.

Now Polish courts have formally ruled that Ukraine was at the time in a state of war, so the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline was an autonomous action in favor of national defense, should not be considered as a so-called war criminal, so innocent release, decided not to extradite him to Germany.

So you see, Poland, I think it is indeed quite flexible and quite transparent. According to the construction of this pipeline, it is very beneficial for European countries such as Germany and Poland, they get Russian natural gas, it is beneficial for their own winter heating, it is also beneficial for reducing the cost of their manufacturing industry.

Now they go to the United States, to the Middle East to buy liquefied natural gas, you think, first, the distance, long transportation time, high transportation costs, second, he has to use the ship to transport, Russia by pipeline can transport, pipeline transportation, is the cheapest and cheapest way of transportation of natural gas. By saying this model is very beneficial for European countries, Poland, Germany and other countries suffered from pipeline damage, but Poland still released the Ukrainian comrade innocent and decided not to extradite him to Germany.

I feel that Poland is doing quite authentic. He talks about things as they are and does not simply speak from the perspective of his country's national interests. Nowadays, the oil and gas resources he bought in the Middle East and the United States are expensive. After blowing up the pipeline, he did not simply judge and understand the problem from this value perspective. He considered from a broader perspective that this action was a self-defensive action when Ukraine was in the state of the Patriotic War, and he drew a judgment from this perspective.

Then the Polish Prime Minister also expressed his support for the court's decision and regarded him as a hero, not a criminal. This matter was satisfactorily resolved. We originally thought that this matter could not be revealed to the world again, or that it could only be left away after the war. Unexpectedly, during the war, an obvious answer and conclusion were given.

Indeed, it was done in Ukraine, but because of the quality, not a crime but a hero, this is even a successful ending.We have a beginning and a end, we said two years ago, and we will take up this question two years later, to interpret this scenario.
