Poland throws down gas gauntlet to Russia

WARSAW: Poland on Friday received its first-ever commercial LNG delivery from the Middle East at its brand new Baltic sea terminal, a key step in easing its dependence on Russian gas.

Aside from shaking off the grip of Russia's energy Goliath Gazprom, Poland also wants to use its first liquefied natural gas facility to propel itself into the position of a major player in the region's gas market, experts say.
