Naftogaz Group and energy company ORLEN (Poland) have signed a memorandum of cooperation in the field of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
This is announced in the group's statement, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
The statement says that the document initiates long-term strategic cooperation between the companies and will allow Ukraine to create a more diversified gas supply system.
It is noted that within the framework of the memorandum of cooperation, Naftogaz and ORLEN also signed a contract for the supply of about 100 million cubic meters of gas.
The gas will come from a batch of liquefied natural gas that will be delivered to the terminal in Klaipeda (Lithuania).
The gas will then be transported via the GIPL gas pipeline connecting Lithuania and Poland, and further through Polish territory to the interconnector on the Ukrainian border in Drozdovichy, where Naftogaz will receive it.
“Ukraine has a powerful gas transportation system and the largest underground gas storage facilities in Europe, which creates unique opportunities for the development of the LNG market. Cooperation with ORLEN opens up prospects for strengthening energy security, diversifying supplies and integrating Ukraine into the European gas market,” emphasized Roman Chumak, Head of Naftogaz Group.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukraine imported 511.8 million cubic meters of natural gas in February 2025, which is the highest monthly volume in 1.5 years, since September 2023.
Ukraine plans to import up to 800 million cubic meters of natural gas from Europe in February and March to compensate for a 40% drop in production after missile strikes by the aggressor country of russia.
