Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Polish President Andrzej Duda believe that the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline project is aimed to undermine energy security of the European Union, according to the president's press service.
"We are grateful to Poland for the common position regarding the Nord Stream 2. This is a threat not only to energy security of Ukraine and Poland. This is a threat for energy security of the whole Europe.
