Ukraine may import gas worth around $2 billion from Europe, the United States, and Azerbaijan this winter, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, after its gas infrastructure was severely damaged by Russian attacks.
He did not specify how much gas Ukraine planned to purchase. Kyiv had expected to import 4.6 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas before a series of Russian strikes hit Ukraine's gas sector earlier this autumn.
Due to the damage, energy minister Svitlana Hrynchuk said imports would need to be increased by 30%, while analysts estimated total gas import requirements at no less than 6.3 bcm.
"We expect that in this very difficult situation, Ukraine must be prepared to find gas worth $2 billion," Zelenskyy said in comments from a Sunday media briefing that were cleared for publication on Monday.
Ukraine's cash-strapped government is in talks with international allies to raise funds to cover the cost of increased imports, he said, with some prepared to provide grants, including an additional tranche from Norway in January.
Ukraine has already purchased around 0.5 bcm of U.S. LNG this year, but Zelenskyy said the government had reached agreements for additional volumes if required.
Kyiv traditionally receives U.S. gas through terminals in Poland, but new volumes may come through Greece and the Transbalkan corridor.
And Zelenskyy added that Ukraine wanted to work with American companies to build its own LNG terminal in the Black Sea port of Odesa and use its large underground gas storage facilities to supply U.S. gas to Europe.

I wonder if Ukraine will pay for it, this time.
He really showed The Putin and the Russians!
It is fascinating that the war between officially non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia has gone on as long as it has. War, from any perspective, is a destructive phenomenon. This war is destructive to both Ukraine and Russia, and apparently a number of others whose "national treasure" has and continues to be invested in Zelensky's administration.
As wars go, this will end. As wars go, how it ends will not please all who are so "invested." But as always, and with all commodities including energy and energy products, someone will be paying.
Somehow I am imagining more EU elite leaders' lobbying of President Trump to "do something." Like pay. And pay some more.
Who is going to pay for this 2 billion dollars worth of gas?
I hope we won’t.
Is this not the first large war staged around 6 working nuclear power plants?
I say, let it take time.
War is destructive. The armaments of the former Soviet Union are being destroyed.
more begging...
who gonna pay for this? I hope not the US taxpayer!
perhaps they should learn to chop wood.
A lots of "armaments" on many sides are being destroyed. That's for sure.

Yup, and Russian army personnel.
