ATHENS - Greece's DEPA Commercial has signed a long-term gas supply deal with Russia's Gazprom which offers more favourable terms, the gas utility said on Tuesday.

The contract, which ends in 2026, follows months of negotiation with Gazprom.

DEPA said it included "very competitive pricing" compared to current European gas prices from 2022 onwards.
