OREANDA-NEWS.  October 05, 2012. The Russian "Gazprombank" is interested in Ukrainian investment projects "LNG-terminal" and "Ring Road". This was announced by Ihor Zhovkva, Director of International Cooperation Department of the State Agency for Investment and National Projects after the presentation of Ukraine’s investment opportunities in Moscow.

"During personal meetings the Gazprombank representative showed particular interest in the LNG-terminal project and Ring Road. Possibility to finance them is to discuss with the bank representatives in the nearest future," he said.

According to the department director, the market of liquefied natural gas covers more and more countries. Even Russia is considering options for its gas exports through LNG-terminals. "Ukraine is one of the largest importers of natural gas and cannot ignore this market, which is rapidly developing. Therefore we presented the LNG-terminal project in Moscow today," added Ihor Zhovkva.

The meeting participants received answers to all questions, including those related to gas supply sources. Ukraine expects to get liquefied natural gas from Azerbaijan, but there are options of cooperation with other countries-traditional exporters of liquefied gas.
