en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ukraine and Lithuania have reached an agreement on the long-term supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Ukraine via the Klaipeda terminal. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced this during a visit to Lithuania on Monday. She stated: "Importantly, during today's talks, an agreement was reached to reserve capacity for the long-term supply of liquefied natural gas to Ukraine through the port of Klaipeda." Svyrydenko wrote on her Telegram channel that the LNG could be supplied by producers from the United States and the Middle East.

Since Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine's natural gas production facilities late last year, Ukraine has been forced to increase imports. This LNG agreement will help Ukraine diversify its energy supply sources. At a joint press conference with Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene, Svyrydenko also stated that Ukraine has proposed using its underground gas storage facilities. Previously, Ukraine's state-owned gas company Naftogaz had organized the first batch of LNG imports via the Klaipeda terminal in February 2026.
