Japan is ready to supply gas to Europe in case of aggravation of the situation around Ukraine

The Japanese authorities expressed their readiness to organize the supply of liquefied natural gas to the EU countries in the event of an aggravation of the situation around Ukraine. This was reported by the broadcaster NHK.

It is expected that this will be officially announced in the near future.

At the moment, the Japanese side has not yet decided on the volume and possible timing of deliveries in the event of an escalation of the conflict.

“For Japan, this is an unusual response to the fact that the US administration has asked for the security of energy resources in Europe. The government has decided to support Europe by seeking cooperation with energy companies interested in LNG, etc., after receiving enough electricity to sustainably supply domestic needs,” government sources said.

Earlier, the US administration called on Asian countries to reduce purchases of consignments of reduced natural gas so that it can be transported to Europe in the event of a reduction in Russian gas supplies to the region due to the situation with Ukraine.
