- At the end of the year, on December 29th and in the following hours of December 30th, cyberattacks occurred targeting energy infrastructure in Poland. Firstly, I want to state that following today's meeting with the heads of institutions responsible for energy security, including special services and Polish energy grids, as well as energy ministers responsible for energy companies, I want to say that Poland defended itself against attempts to destabilize its energy infrastructure. Critical infrastructure, meaning transmission networks, which are crucial for the security of the entire system, was not threatened for a single moment - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- The attempted attacks on certain elements of energy infrastructure were not attempts that threatened the destabilization of the entire system or a blackout in Poland; that was out of the question. Certain locations were attacked point by point, including, for example, two combined heat and power plants, and these attacks were aimed at the system that enables the management of electricity originating from RES (Renewable Energy Sources) - the head of government continued.

- This attack practically resulted in no negative consequences. Therefore, I can say that we did not waste this time and that the Polish energy system is, as much as is possible in the modern world, secure against such interventions or attacks, but we cannot underestimate the signals. There is no hard evidence, but much indicates that these attacks were prepared by groups directly connected with Russian services, and I do not want to speculate on this matter - Tusk said.

- We have no doubts as to the sources of inspiration. If similar attacks were to repeat, the security systems have worked and will continue to work in the future, but we cannot exclude, given the nature of these interventions, the probability that a state that is hostile to us is also involved – we have no doubts about that – so we must also prepare additional security measures - he emphasized.
