Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz said the project would help to ensure his country's energy security. Marcinkiewicz met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov today in Warsaw.


Poland has made energy one of the main planks of its foreign policy. It remains heavily dependent on Russia for oil and gas.


The Ukrainian pipeline under discussion now runs from Odesa to Brody in western Ukraine, near the Polish border.
