Ukraine and Greece have recently signed an agreement concerning the supply of natural gas, marking a significant step toward energy independence from Russian sources. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced this after his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Our countries are establishing crucial new connections. This is a secure energy route linking Greece and Ukraine, supported by the construction of a vertical energy corridor from Alexandroupolis to Odesa," he stated.
Mitsotakis emphasized that Ukraine will gain access to reliable energy sources while Greece becomes a key hub for delivering American liquefied gas to Central and Eastern Europe.
"The signing of this natural gas sale agreement demonstrates our intention to implement a project that will stabilize Ukraine's energy network, thanks to American gas. This is undoubtedly a catalytic event on the path to independence from Russian gas," Mitsotakis stressed.
President Zelensky announced that gas supplies from Greece will commence in January 2026, highlighting that gas imports are necessary to compensate for the destruction of Ukrainian production caused by Russians. The agreements with Greece are part of a broader energy package prepared for the winter.
