According to the channel @stop_tck_ua, US representatives Steve Whitcomb and Jared Kushner have proposed to resume the transit of Russian gas to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines, selling the fuel through an American company to bypass EU sanctions and create opportunities for US investors.
Washington presented the idea to European leaders as a way to lower gas prices before winter, citing low fuel stocks in European storage; the initiative is being considered within negotiations on an energy ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv.
