Naftogaz supplies liquefied gas via terminal in Germany for the first time
23 February 19:26
The Naftogaz Group, in partnership with TotalEnergies, has secured the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US via the Deutsche ReGas LNG terminal located on the island of Rügen (Germany) in the Baltic Sea, Naftogaz reported, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
“The first ever delivery of regasified LNG from Germany to Ukraine was only possible thanks to the professional and trusting cooperation of all partners,” said Ingo Wagner, CEO of Deutsche ReGas. “We are particularly proud that we are the only LNG terminal in Germany that is financed and operated by private companies and that makes a direct contribution to Ukraine’s energy security,” the statement said.
According to the statement, after regasification of LNG at the Deutsche ReGas terminal, Naftogaz will deliver the resource via pipelines through Poland to Ukraine, where it will be available to meet the country’s needs in February.
Naftogaz CEO Serhiy Koretsky noted that the new partnership opens up a new reliable import route for Ukraine for the current year, and that this agreement is only the first step towards a long-term partnership.
“This winter is the most difficult since the start of the war due to constant shelling of gas infrastructure and extremely cold weather. The Naftogaz team is working systematically with our international partners to diversify sources and supply routes in order to ensure stable supplies for Ukrainians. This new partnership opens up a new reliable import route for Ukraine for the current year, and this agreement is only the first step towards a long-term partnership,” said Serhiy Koretsky.
As the company explains, this underscores the strategic importance of our location not only in the THE market, but especially for our neighbors in Central and Eastern Europe.
Earlier, in early February, Naftogaz, in partnership with the Polish state-owned concern Orlen, organized the delivery of the first batch of American liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Ukraine in 2026.
In November 2025, Naftogaz and Poland’s Orlen finalized agreements to supply 300 million cubic meters of American liquefied natural gas to Ukraine in the first quarter of 2026.
