Ukraine Secures Long-Term LNG Deal with Lithuania

Ukraine and Lithuania have signed a deal for the long-term supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Ukraine through Lithuania's Klaipeda terminal. This agreement allows for gas imports from U.S. and Middle Eastern producers, enhancing Ukraine's energy security after increased Russian attacks on its gas infrastructure.

Ukraine has secured an important energy agreement with Lithuania for the long-term supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the Klaipeda terminal, as announced by Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko during her visit to Lithuania.

Svyrydenko confirmed that the agreement ensures the booking of capacity for continuous LNG supply to Ukraine, with potential imports from both U.S. and Middle Eastern producers. This development strengthens Ukraine's energy security following intensified Russian assaults on the country's gas production facilities last year.

At a joint press conference with Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene, Svyrydenko highlighted Ukraine's offer to use its underground gas storage facilities, signaling an increased cooperation between the nations in tackling energy challenges.
