ATHENS, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky paid a brief visit to Greece on Sunday, during which the two countries signed a natural gas agreement.

According to the Greek official news agency AMNA, the letter of intent between Greece's DEPA Commercial and Ukraine's Naftogaz will enable the transport of American liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Ukraine through the so-called Vertical Corridor from December 2025 to March 2026.

The agreement was signed in Athens in the presence of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Zelensky.

Mitsotakis said the deal would provide Ukraine with "diversified and reliable energy sources," noting that Greece has become an important hub for gas flows to Central and Eastern Europe.

During the visit, the two leaders also discussed reconstruction efforts in Ukraine, defense cooperation and Euro-Atlantic integration.
