The US ambassador called the transition of Greece to American LNG the right decision

MOSCOW, 14 Sep — PRIME. Priority to the supply of Russian energy resources was a “strategic mistake” of Greece, now the country is receiving more and more American liquefied natural gas (LNG). This was stated by US Ambassador to Athens George Tsunis.

According to the diplomat, Greece is turning into an energy hub, on which its geostrategic significance, as well as the energy security of all of Europe, will depend. Tsunis noted that the United States is also helping to resolve the energy crisis in the region by increasing LNG supplies.

The ambassador stressed that the EU, negotiating with Russia on the import of raw materials, made a “strategic mistake.”

“I think that countries have realized that this is wrong as they are now coping with the consequences. These consequences are real and serious. I hope that they will be as short-term as possible,” he said.
