The United States supports a plan to restore the supply of Russian natural gas to Europe through pipelines passing through Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reports. According to the interlocutors of the publication, the idea to renew the Russian gas supply was proposed by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. It is assumed that the gas sale will be carried out through an American intermediary to avoid the European sanctions. American negotiators presented the agreement to European governments as a way to lower energy costs, as the continent prepares for a winter with relatively low gas supplies.
