The US proposed to Europe to renew the purchase of Russian gas for the sake of peace in Ukraine. This was reported by the New York Times, citing sources. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner discussed the initiative with Ukrainian and European officials, including Zansky, during a visit to Kyiv in September. Senior officials in the US claimed that Ukraine is considering the possibility of renewing pipelines that previously supplied Russian gas to Europe. According to the newspaper, the European reasons viewed the proposal negatively.
