Ukraine's state energy company Naftogaz has signed a memorandum with Greek firm Atlantic-see LNG Trade on regular deliveries of American liquefied natural gas through Greek terminals, Naftogaz Group head Serhiy Koretskyi announced.
"We are talking about future regular supplies of American gas to Ukraine through Greek gas terminals and the Vertical Corridor," Koretskyi explained.
The long-term partnership covers the period until 2050. The memorandum was signed at the P-TEC forum in the presence of Ukrainian Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk, Greek Environment and Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, and US Chargé d'Affaires in Ukraine Julie C. Davis.
According to Koretskyi, the agreement will ensure stable LNG supplies for Ukraine and integrate the country's infrastructure into logistics routes for LNG to Europe. The memorandum also creates a sustainable system for supplying and storing American gas.
The strategic partnership aims to diversify routes for American LNG deliveries to Ukraine and Europe through phased implementation of new projects.
In October, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy planned to request gas and air defense systems from US President Donald Trump during their meeting on 17 October.
