Navalny poisoning a warning sign to the West - PM

The recent poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny should be a warning sign to some Western leaders, PM Mateusz Morawiecki said on Thursday before a sitting of the European Council. Morawiecki said that the Navalny case also gave food for thought as to whether the German-Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project should be continued. "It is worth thinking deeply about whether this is not the time for all of us to say that continuing a project like Nord Stream 2 is pointless in this situation," Morawiecki said. He said that Poland as been advocating against the undertaking for years, and expressed hope that other countries would realise that "Navalny's poisoning and Nord Stream 2 are not two separate issues."
