“Our goal is to strengthen cooperation with our European partners in terms of keeping their gas reserves in Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities and launching joint gas production projects in Ukraine,” Chernyshov noted.

In his words, the issues of gas storage and production, visions for the development of Ukraine’s oil and gas sector, and the experience of passing through the heating season amid the full-scale war are expected to be discussed at a meeting of the NATO Political Committee.

“As a result, I look forward to deepening our cooperation, which is important for the energy sustainability of both Ukraine and Europe,” Chernyshov added.
