Ukraine received liquefied gas from the United States for the first time. Energy company DTEK accepted this gas at an LNG terminal in Greece.
This is not just a load – it is a strategic step. Despite Russia’s attempts to destroy our energy system during the war, we won another victory on the energy front,” Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, commented on the event.
He writes that the agreement was concluded with the American company Venture Global until 2026.
Europe gets about 40% of its LNG imports from the US, but Ukraine has never purchased this gas directly before. The delivery arrived a few days before the expiration of a five-year agreement on the transit of Russian pipeline gas through Ukraine.
The cargo is expected to be the first of a number of such deliveries. In June, the Financial Times wrote that American producers had entered into an agreement to supply LNG to Ukraine and Eastern Europe. It will be valid until 2026.
