US President Donald Trump’s administration is considering resuming Russian gas supplies to Europe as part of a peace deal over Ukraine. Washington views this measure as an economic incentive for Moscow to halt the war.
Economic Mechanisms to Settle Conflict
Sources indicate that Washington considers the resumption of gas deliveries and the easing of certain sanctions against Russia as key economic mechanisms to resolve the conflict.
Opposition from Kyiv and the European Union
Kyiv and EU member states, particularly Germany, oppose the proposal, stating that returning to energy dependence on Russia poses a serious threat to European security.
Nord Stream 2 and LUKOIL Assets
Alongside the resumption of gas supplies, topics such as the Nord Stream 2 project and the sale of LUKOIL’s international assets are also reportedly under discussion.
