According to the reporter's information, some US, European, and Ukrainian officials revealed that the US is supporting the resumption of Russian gas exports to Europe through the Ukrainian transit pipeline. This is part of the negotiations between the parties to reach an “energy cease-fire” before the beginning of winter. Kushner and Special Envoy Witkov proposed this idea during a visit to Moscow and Kyiv in September this year. They plan to sell Russian gas through US intermediaries to bypass European sanctions, but it was opposed by European countries; the EU must gradually stop buying Russian gas by the end of 2027. The US side believes that this move will help push Russia to agree to an “energy cease-fire” and bring transit fee revenue to Ukraine. White House officials also proposed depositing sales revenue into a third-party escrow account to prevent Russia from using it for military operations. Currently, Russia has not agreed to the US “energy cease-fire” plan.
