Greece and Ukraine sign US gas supply deal amid Russian attacks
Greece will supply natural gas to war-battered Ukraine, via pipelines from the northern Greek port of Alexandroupolis to the Ukrainian port of Odesa
An agreement to supply Ukraine with US liquefied natural gas (LNG) was signed in Athens on Sunday during the official visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Greece.
Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis attended the signing of the deal between Greece’s gas supplier DEPA and Ukraine’s Naftogas, as did the US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Mitsotakis stressed the importance of an Athens energy meeting on November 6 and 7 in making the LNG deal possible.
In that meeting, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum joined more than 80 American officials, EU energy ministers and top LNG executives for talks in Greece hosted by the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank.
