Ukraine received liquefied natural gas from the USA for the first time. The delivery took place through Greece.
This was reported by the Telegram channel of the head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak.
“It’s not just cargo – it’s a strategic step,” he said.
According to Yermak, this was achieved despite Russia’s efforts to destroy the Ukrainian energy system during the war.
“We won another victory on the energy front,” Yermak stated.
On December 27, DTEK received the first shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States after an LNG carrier docked in Greece.
A shipment of approximately 100 million cubic meters of gas or 1 TWh of energy aboard the Gaslog Savannah arrived at the Revitus LNG terminal on Friday morning. D.TRADING, the European trading subsidiary of DTEK, bought the entire cargo.
Working together with Greek and other partners, the LNG will be regasified and transmitted through the gas networks of the European Union and Ukraine.
According to DTEK, this supply is part of more global measures aimed at strengthening the energy security of Ukraine and Europe by reducing dependence on Russian gas.
D.TRADING expects Friday’s shipment to be the first of a series of such shipments from the US and is looking to expand its LNG operations to northern Europe and the Baltics.
The cargo goes through Greece due to war-related restrictions on LNG transit through the Black Sea and directly to Ukraine. Instead, the company will use regasification terminals like Revitusa’s along with cross-border pipelines like the Vertical Corridor initiative, which transports gas between Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova and Ukraine.
There will no longer be a contract for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine, but Gazprom will “survive” it. This opinion was expressed by Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin during the final press conference for 2024.
Deputy Secretary of State Jeffrey Payette said that the United States hopes that the end of the contract for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine will be a powerful step towards ending the era of dependence of Europe on Russian energy resources.
Earlier, gas prices rose 1.6% after rising 7% last week, as political leaders made it clear that continued gas supplies through Ukraine beyond December 31 were becoming increasingly unlikely.
