After the LNG is regasified at the terminal, Naftogaz will deliver the gas by pipeline through Poland to Ukraine, where it will be available to meet the country's needs in February.
“The first ever delivery of regasified LNG from Germany to Ukraine was made possible only through the professional and trusting collaboration of all partners,” the statement quoted Deutsche ReGas CEO Ingo Wagner.
“We are particularly proud, as the only privately financed and operated LNG terminal in Germany, to make a direct contribution to Ukraine's energy security. This underscores the strategic importance of our location, not only for THE [Trading Hub Europe, German gas market manager] market area, but especially for our Central and Eastern European neighbors.”
Naftogaz CEO Sergii Koretskyi said the partnership opens a new, reliable import route for Ukraine and represents a first step toward a longer-term collaboration.
Earlier this month, Naftogaz and Poland's state-controlled Orlen arranged for U.S. LNG shipments to Ukraine in 2026. In November 2025, the two companies finalized agreements to deliver 300 million cubic meters of U.S.-sourced LNG to Ukraine in Q1 2026.
