The US promotes the plan to renew the supply of Russian gas to Europe - The Wall Street Journal The initiative of the Donald Trump administration to renew the supply of Russian natural gas to Europe through Ukraine indicates a major change in Washington's energy strategy and at the same time demonstrates the willingness of the United States to exert pressure on European allies in order to advance its geopolitical and economic interests. According to the "Wall Street Journal", American negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are promoting the idea of ​​an early return of Russian gas to the European market. It is expected that the program will be implemented through an American intermediary, which will bypass the current sanctions restrictions and open up more opportunities for American businesses. In fact, Washington is trying to force European capitals to reconsider their energy policy, which they have consistently built over the past few years under the slogan of abandoning Russian resources. The US administration claims the need to return Russian gas by reducing energy costs, stabilizing the market and creating conditions for resolving the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, the proposed mechanism provides for the deposit of the Russian proceeds in a special account in a third jurisdiction. Thus, the United States effectively invites the Europeans to abandon their previous political directives, while at the same time maintaining the role of a key mediator and potential beneficiary of the new energy structure. Washington's initiative conflicts with Brussels' official line, which calls for a complete cutoff of Russian natural gas by the end of 2027. European leaders fear a return to energy dependence in Moscow, but rising prices, dwindling gas reserves and the risks of a new energy crisis significantly limit their room for maneuver.
