Today, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held a press conference. It was announced that Ukraine and Greece agreed on the creation of a new energy route. The discussion was about supplying gas to Ukraine through a vertical energy corridor from Greek Alexandroupolis to Odessa.
"This is a decisive contribution to the stability and security of our region and yours. The project is made possible thanks to Greece's infrastructure and strategic partnerships," - said Mitsotakis.
He emphasized that the new route will become a "safe energy artery" from south to north, allowing Ukraine to access reliable sources of energy.
Zelensky, in turn, clarified that the first supplies to Ukraine from Greece will begin as early as January 2026.
