Abstract
Energy security is a key element of national security. It is difficult to formulate a proper structure for strategic culture or political strategy without considering this key element. Therefore, it is nec-essary to discuss particularly important factors shaping the Polish security policy: diversification of energy ties, adaptation of the national technical infrastructure to contemporary requirements of the raw materials market, and bilateral and multilateral agreements on energy security problems. The influence of the Russian Federation plays an important role in Poland’s energy security policy. Bilateral relations in the energy sector affect Poland's energy security and foreign policy. They also affect Poland's internal policy and, therefore, should be regarded as crucial for the Polish national interest. The research problem of the paper what author used is: How and by what means, meth-ods, techniques, and forms does the Russian Federation influence Poland's energy security and what consequences does this have for our country? The aim of the paper is to present the state of Poland's energy security and the desirable prospects in the relations with the Russian Federation in the context of natural gas and crude oil supplies. The paper uses such research tools as analysis, synthesis, comparison, and inference to determine Poland’s current energy.
Highlights
Poland's relations with the Russian Federation in the energy sector are often compared to political relations between Warsaw and Moscow
The new routes for the transmission of raw materials launched by the Russian Federation exclude the Poland from the transit of crude oil and natural gas, while time reducing the Polish government's negotiating power in relation to its Russian partner
The Polish government, failing to achieve success in the European fuel market, is concentrating on ensuring Poland's energy security, which is too little for the ambitions of our energy sector
Summary
Poland's relations with the Russian Federation in the energy sector are often compared to political relations between Warsaw and Moscow. What is important is the use of natural gas and crude oil by Russia as effective tools for creating international relations (Zygar, and Paniuszkin, 2008) Reality shaped in this way negatively affects the Polish fuel market, which, despite the implementation of some of the energy projects aimed at diversifying both the sources of supply of raw materials and their transmission routes, has lost its importance. The aim of the paper is to present the state of Poland's energy security and the desirable prospects in the relations with the Russian Federation in the context of natural gas and crude oil supplies. This paper presents the directions Poland’s supply with natural gas and crude oil, the forms of Poland's energy cooperation with the Russian Federation, and the projects aimed to diversify the sources and routes of energy resources in which Poland participates. The analysis carried out in this way made it possible to formulate the conclusions presented
