• Ukraine’s DTEK receives its first shipment of LNG cargo from US

The consignment of approximately 100 million cubic metres of gas, or 1 TWh of energy, onboard the Gaslog Savannah arrived at the Revithoussa LNG terminal on Friday morning. D.TRADING, DTEK’s pan-European trading subsidiary, has purchased the entire cargo. Working with Greek and other partners, the LNG will now be re-gasified and exchanged through European Union and Ukrainian gas networks.

"There are no depths to which russia will not sink. Denying light and warmth to millions of peace-loving people as they celebrate Christmas is a depraved and evil act that must be answered. We appeal to every ally of Ukraine to end this state-sponsored terrorism now by giving our armed forces the air defence ammunition they need to protect essential energy infrastructure."

Maxim Timchenko on his X account:

"So proud of what Oleksandr Usyk achieved last night. His victory showed the true fighting spirit of our nation and is so much bigger than a boxing match for us. I see that same spirit of determination in energy workers, who are putting themselves in harm's way, every day, to bring light and warmth to millions of people. Today, the 22nd December, we honour them on what is known as Energy Day in  Ukraine. Oleksandr, thank you for your consistent support of these men and women and for your unwavering commitment to DTEK. #FightForLight in the face of russian evil. You have achieved something incredible and inspire us even further to victory!."
