Ukraine discusses US LNG imports after Russian strikes on gas sector
Ukraine is in discussions with the U.S. to import LNG after Russian strikes on its gas infrastructure, economy minister Oleksii Sobolev said. "Due to Russian attacks, we have lost part of our gas production, so we are considering mechanisms to finance the purchase of American LNG and compressor equipment," Sobolev said on Facebook after meetings in Washington.
Russia has sharply increased the number and intensity of attacks on the Ukrainian energy system in recent weeks, targeting both power plants and gas facilities.
Ukrainian energy minister Svitlana Hrynchuk said last week that Ukraine wanted to increase its gas imports by 30% following airstrikes on its gas infrastructure.
Earlier this month, the head of Ukraine's state oil and gas firm Naftogaz said his company had bought around 0.5 billion cubic meters of U.S. LNG, most of which had already been delivered.
