Naftogaz received first delivery of American LNG to Ukraine in 2026 of almost 100 million cubic metres

Naftogaz, in partnership with Poland’s ORLEN, secured delivery of the first batch of American liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Ukraine in 2026.

The volume delivered is almost 100 million cubic metres - enough to provide gas to about 700,000 families for one month during the winter period.

Additional gas volumes are extremely important during periods of extreme cold and Russian terrorist attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. We have been working systematically with our international partners to ensure that Ukraine has the resources to get through the winter in a sustainable manner. I thank our partners at ORLEN. The next batches of American gas have already been contracted and will be delivered to Ukraine in February–March,” said Sergii Koretskyi, CEO of Naftogaz.

The LNG tanker was en route for 20 days. The gas was received in late January at the LNG terminal in Świnoujście (Poland). After regasification, the resource is now available for Ukraine’s needs.

Total US LNG supplies to Ukraine could reach 1 billion cubic metres in 2026, which will make a significant contribution to ensuring the stable operation of the energy system in wartime conditions.
