US Pushes Russian Gas
The United States is pushing to resume Russian gas sales to Europe through a pipeline running across Ukraine, as part of a proposal Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner presented to Moscow and Kyiv. The aim is to encourage Russian President Vladimir Putin to accept an energy ceasefire ahead of expected trilateral peace talks in mid-November. The negotiators propose selling the gas through a U.S. intermediary and placing the proceeds in an escrow account held by a third party. Transit fees could provide Ukraine with much-needed revenue, while the additional supplies could help lower European energy prices. But the proposal has raised European concerns about dependence on Russia: Russia currently supplies just 11% of the EU’s gas, down from 45% before the war, while U.S. liquefied natural gas accounts for 30% of European consumption.
