Ukraine has expressed interest in importing liquefied natural gas from Mozambique, as years of Russian attacks have strained its energy resources.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with his Mozambique counterpart Daniel Chapo on Monday. After the meeting, Zelensky wrote on X that Ukraine could help Mozambique counter\u00a0\u201csecurity challenges\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in exchange for\u00a0\u201cgas supplies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n “Ukraine is interested in additional energy supplies. Mozambique is interested in Ukraine’s experience and technologies to strengthen its internal security and protect people from terror,”<\/em> Zelensky wrote.<\/p>\n Mozambique has been battling\u00a0a terrorist insurgency\u00a0since 2017.<\/p>\n Before Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine\u2019s domestic gas production covered almost all of its needs, according to Reuters. In the past four years, Russian strikes have severely crippled its production infrastructure.<\/p>\n Late last year Central Bank Governor Andriy Pyshnyi said Ukraine has lost about half its gas output, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mozambique is a major African gas \u200cproducer and ongoing projects with companies TotalEnergies and Eni could boost the country\u2019s exports. French oil supermajor TotalEnergies\u00a0relaunched its controversial $20 billion gas project in January, 5 years after a devastating jihadist attack shut it down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ukraine has expressed interest in importing liquefied natural gas from Mozambique, as years of Russian attacks have strained its energy resources.
