For the first time in Poland's history — what find will make the country wealthier.

Poland has begun extracting oil and gas, having opened one of the largest deposits in Europe in recent decades. According to Business Insider Polska, the Wolin East 1 deposit in the Baltic Sea contains 22 million tons of oil and 5 billion tons of natural gas. This discovery could help strengthen the country's energy security and reduce dependence on external suppliers.Currently, industrial extraction at the deposit has not yet started, as permits need to be obtained and necessary documentation prepared. In Poland, the new oil and gas deposit could play a significant role in enhancing the country's energy security.Ukraine also has its own oil and gas reserves, the largest of which are concentrated in the Eastern region. The Dnipro-Donetsk region is the leader in resource extraction volumes. The largest oil well in Ukraine is now considered a geological monument of local significance.
