With just weeks to go until Poland is due to fully halt oil purchases from Russia, the government in Warsaw is lobbying for European Union measures to help it stick to the pledge.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki promised back in May that his country would try to end oil imports via the northern leg of the giant Druzhba pipeline from Russia by year end. His German counterpart Olaf Scholz, whose country also relies on imports via the same oil link, made a similar vow at that time.
