Kiev sees enormous potential, particularly after the cessation of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, in the possibility of purchasing LNG gas from the United States, stated Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.
"The circle of common interests and mutually beneficial cooperation is not limited to these resources (natural gas - IF-U). For instance, we see significant potential, especially following the halt of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, in the possibility of acquiring LNG gas from the United States. You are aware that Ukraine has exceptionally powerful underground gas storage facilities, and here too we have common points for mutually beneficial cooperation and simultaneously enhancing Europe's energy security," he said at a joint press conference with UK Foreign Minister David Lammy in Kyiv on Wednesday.
According to Sibiga, there will be enough gas if it is stored in Ukrainian facilities to ensure Ukraine's role as a guarantor of energy security in Europe.
