Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your opening statement, Ambassador Angell.
Firstly, to Ambassador Scanlon, regarding the situation with Gazprom halting delivery of gas to Poland and Bulgaria, and Russia's claims that it wants to be paid in rubles, it's clear that Russia is really using its energy resources as a weapon of war and a foreign policy instrument.
Why did Gazprom target Poland and Bulgaria specifically? What impact do you think there will be on Polish households and businesses? Are there other countries that could be affected by this?
