According to a statement, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone call with the President of Mozambique, Daniel Chapo, on Monday.
The leaders discussed the possibilities for gas supplies to Ukraine and opportunities for countering security challenges, the statement said.
“Ukraine is interested in additional energy supplies. Mozambique is interested in Ukraine’s experience and technologies to strengthen its internal security and protect people from terror,” Zelenskyy said in the statement.
The statement did not provide further details.
Mozambique currently exports LNG via Eni’s 3.4 mtpa Coral Sul FLNG, while Eni and its partners are also building the Coral Norte FLNG, which will be installed offshore Mozambique.
In addition, France’s TotalEnergies and its partners in the giant Mozambique LNG project have recently restarted work on the 12.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) project after five years of suspension.
The partners declared force majeure on the project in April 2021 and withdrew all personnel from the site due to new attacks.
Naftogaz boosting LNG supplies
Ukraine has no LNG import facilities.
However, Ukraine’s Naftogaz has secured several deals over the past year to import US LNG via European terminals, amid Russia’s attacks on its energy and gas infrastructure.
Naftogaz, in cooperation with Lithuanian state-owned energy firm Ignitis, said last month it will receive US LNG supplies in February-March 2026 via the KN Energies-operated FSRU-based LNG import facility in Klaipeda.
This new move came just days after Naftogaz secured the delivery of US LNG from TotalEnergies via the Deutsche ReGas-operated FSRU-based LNG import terminal in Germany.
This will not be the first shipment for Naftogaz via the Lithuanian FSRU as Poland’s Orlen previously supplied cargoes to Naftogaz via the facility.
Orlen also recently delivered one US LNG cargo to Naftogaz via the Swinoujscie terminal in Poland.
In November 2025, Orlen agreed to supply three more LNG cargoes, equivalent to over 300 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas, to Naftogaz from the US in the first quarter of 2026.
In addition to Orlen’s supplies, a joint venture of Greek companies Aktor and DEPA recently signed its first deal to supply a US LNG cargo to Naftogaz via DESFA’s Revithoussa LNG terminal in Greece.
