This arrangement provides Ukraine with a means to secure gas after Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure and production facilities, reported Reuters<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naftogaz stated: \u201cBoth operational and long-term arrangements have been reached with the Greek side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

LNG will be transported through a pipeline involving the gas transmission system operators of five European countries, crossing the Balkan peninsula.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naftogaz CEO Sergii Koretskyi said: \u201cThis partnership opens another reliable direction for imports for the upcoming winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are consistently and systematically expanding the geography of supplies to guarantee stable heating for Ukrainians and to strengthen the energy security of the entire region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank DEPA Commercial for their readiness to move forward together. Sincere gratitude to the President of Ukraine and the government for making this agreement possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The LoI was signed during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy\u2019s visit to Athens on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking alongside Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Zelenskiy said: \u201cDeliveries would begin in January.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before his visit to Greece, Zelenskiy stated that Kyiv had secured funding from European partners, banks under European Commission guarantees and Ukrainian banks to help cover nearly \u20ac2bn ($2.3bn) required for gas imports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zelenskiy added that Ukraine\u2019s Government was also collaborating with US partners to secure full financing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agreement comes after Greece recently signed its first long-term contract with Washington to supply US LNG to Europe, starting in 2030.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, the EU approved a ban<\/a> on Russian LNG imports from 2027 in response to Moscow\u2019s ongoing war in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
