Ukraine Seeks Mozambican LNG After Zelensky Meets President Chapo

The outreach signals Kyiv's push to replace lost domestic gas with new suppliers.

Overview

  • Zelensky said Ukraine wants to buy liquefied natural gas from Mozambique following talks with President Daniel Chapo.
  • He offered Ukraine’s security expertise to help Mozambique counter its Islamist insurgency as part of the outreach.
  • Russian strikes have cut Ukraine’s gas output by about half, with attacks last autumn hitting facilities in frontline regions.
  • Mozambique has restarted a TotalEnergies‑linked LNG project with about 13 million tonnes of annual capacity, positioning it as a future exporter.
  • No volumes or contract terms were disclosed, and Ukraine is broadening U.S. LNG imports via Poland, Baltic terminals and Greece while targeting about 13 bcm in storage for the 2026–2027 heating season.
