Yeah you’re right, both Nord Stream and the Brotherhood pipeline are actually natural gas. No excuse there, just a dumb brain fart I guess.
And there are other pipelines besides the one flowing from Ukraine, but right now that one’s by far the biggest. Nord Stream is clearly a way of making it less essential. As you say, Belarus shutting off gas flow isn’t a concern, so that pipeline is much less of a liability and doesn’t really factor in here.

Oops, I meant to say that Poland is one of the most rabid supporters of Kiev. It’s because they also benefit from high transit fees on gas, like Ukraine.
