“Ukraine’s energy executives are offering Washington and other Western capitals many potential solutions to secure supplies for next winter and increase domestic production. This includes securing international funding to buy natural gas from major exporters in the Middle East and North Africa, development of alternative supply routes and possible agreement with Washington on the import of LNG from the United States under Lend-Lease.
It was noted that last week the head of Naftogaz, Yuriy Vitrenko, told Washington that Ukraine needs $ 8 billion to import 6 billion cubic meters of gas.
“The United States has a very clear mandate to provide the necessary assistance to Ukraine. We want to arrange this in a reasonable way so that there is no burden for American taxpayers,” Vitrenko quoted the publication as saying.
According to him, LNG under Lend-Lease will be delivered to Europe, and it will be delivered to Ukraine by pipeline.
Ukraine plans to pay for LNG in the United States after domestic gas production increases. “They were surprised to hear this idea, but it was well received,” Vitrenko said.
It will be recalled that the government ordered Naftogaz to store 19 billion cubic meters of gas during the heating season. At the beginning of June, there were more than 10 billion cubic meters in underground storage facilities.
