Ukraine can become one of the guarantors of energy security for Europe, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said at the “Nordic Sea Shelf” conference in Norway.
“Together with Ukraine, you can prevent more price crises, we have a unique system of gas storage facilities near the border with the EU with a volume of over 30 billion cubic meters,” the president said.< /p>
Currently, according to Zelenskyi, we have a free volume of 15 billion cubic meters. Ukraine needs an additional 3 billion in additional reserves, Europe can use the remaining 12 for energy security this winter.
In addition, Zelensky reminded that Ukraine has significant gas deposits.
“The leadership of Russia wanted to steal this part of the national wealth from us. But we will not allow this to happen. We invite investors, contractors, and service companies to come to Ukraine for gas extraction. Our gas fields can play the same stabilizing role for Europe as the fields in Norway,” the president stressed.< /p>
