US pushes to restore Russian gas sales to Europe via Ukraine, WSJ reports
The proposal would route gas through a U.S. intermediary and could give Ukraine transit fees while lowering European heating costs, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States is backing a resumption of Russian natural gas exports to Europe via pipelines crossing Ukraine to secure an energy ceasefire before winter.
- Ukraine suspended all Russian gas transit at the start of last year when a five-year deal between Gazprom and Naftogaz expired; Kyiv rejected extending the contract, permanently halting the pipeline flow.
- President Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff proposed the deal during September visits to Moscow and Kyiv, aiming to provide Ukraine with "badly needed revenue" while lowering consumer heating costs.
- The WSJ noted the arrangement could create a "lucrative opportunity for American investors," while Germany's gas storage sits at 61% full versus its 80% target as of November 1.
- European Union officials insist there is no return to buying Russian energy, though European nations have accounted for approximately 85% of Yamal LNG's recorded global deliveries this year despite legal obstacles.
