Ukraine energy firm DTEK greenlights more US gas shipments as it seeks deal to replace Russia supply chain


WASHINGTON — The largest private energy company in Ukraine is moving forward with more shipments of liquid natural gas (LNG) purchases from the US — and seeking a commercial agreement with a Virginia-based company to try to replace Russia’s supply chain to the European continent.

“Russian gas cannot be cheap — and eventually it will be very high-priced in,” DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko told The Post. “The most obvious solution and practical solution is to replace Russian gas by supply from the United States, and we always wanted to be part of this, part of this global market.”

That could be music to the ears of President Trump, who has listed ending the war in Ukraine and rejuvenating America’s oil industry among his top priorities.
