Energy policy: USA urges Russian gas supplies through Ukraine to Europe
Washington is reportedly lobbying for Russia to resume exporting natural gas to Europe via Ukraine. The Trump administration hopes that this will dampen the high gas price.
US representatives, including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, have been promoting a plan for Russia to resume supplying natural gas to Europe through pipelines in Ukraine. The plan, which was put on hold last month, involves selling Russian gas through a US intermediary to circumvent European restrictions. The proposal was revived after Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian refineries, which had been halted at the request of US President Donald Trump.
The plan could allow gas deliveries to restart quickly if implemented, as the pipelines through Ukraine are still intact. The European gas prices have reached their highest level in almost four years.
