Lithuania wants to get rid of dependence on Russian natural gas with the help of the United States

Hope is being placed in the future of US, Canadian and Australian liquefied natural gas exports. Lithuanian Energy Minister Jaroslav Neverovičius said it was time to change the attitude towards the contracts and buy gas at the best price, regardless of whether it is supplied through a terminal or pipeline.

According to him, Lithuania is not against any supplier and would buy gas from Gazprom, if they offered acceptable conditions. Meanwhile, the liquefied natural gas terminal project run by the company Klaipedos Nafta has received its building permit.
