Ukraine Secures New Gas Deal with Greece Ahead of Winter. Ukraine has reached a new agreement to import gas from Greece, a move President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says will help stabilize the country’s energy supply this winter - According to Politico. Speaking in Athens on Sunday, Zelenskyy called the deal an important new route that will help cover nearly €2 billion needed to replace gas production lost to Russian attacks. The president met with Greece’s leaders before heading to France on Monday, where he’ll discuss major energy and defense agreements with President Emmanuel Macron — including plans to boost Ukraine’s air defense and combat aviation. The French presidency says the talks will also focus on the economy and broader bilateral cooperation. Zelenskyy will then travel to Spain on Tuesday for further discussions on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense systems. He noted that securing more missiles and defense technologies remains his top priority. The Greek gas deal will be financed through Ukrainian government funds, support from European banks with EU guarantees, and contributions from Ukrainian banks and European partners, including Norway. Zelenskyy added that Kyiv is also working closely with the U.S., Poland, and Azerbaijan on additional long-term energy supply agreements.
